Recipe Introduction
Some people like some dry mustard or pickle relish in their deviled eggs,
but I don't. If you like them, add them.
List of Ingredients
* 1 dozen eggs
* mayonnaise (to taste)
* salt (just a little - to taste)
* black pepper (a lot!)
* paprika (optional - for garnish)
Recipe
Eggs for deviled eggs are best if they're not extremely fresh. Buy the eggs
a few days to a week before you want to make the deviled eggs.
Place the eggs in a large pan or Dutch oven. Cover them with cold water,
making sure that the water comes up an inch or two above the eggs. Discard any
eggs that float to the surface!
Place the pan or Dutch oven on the stove and turn the burner to high. As
soon as the water reaches a rolling boil, turn the heat down to medium and set
the kitchen timer for 10 minutes.
When the timer goes off, remove the eggs from the heat. With kitchen tongs,
take the eggs out of the water and place them in a colander.
Wait until the eggs are just cool enough to handle and shell the eggs under
running water to remove any bits of shell. Place the shelled eggs back into
the colander to cool and dry.
*** Note: At this point you can put the eggs in a Zip Lock bag in the
refrigerator, or you can halve them, devil the yolks, and refrigerate the whites
and the deviled yolks separately until you want to put everything together.
They're much easier to store this way than they are once they're filled. You
can even take them separately to the party and fill the whites there.
Slice the whites in half and remove the yolks to a bowl. (It's easiest if
you use a spoon to pry the yolks out of the whites.) Put the yolks in a bowl
and add several tablespoons of the mayonnaise, the salt, and the black pepper.
Use a hand mixer to whip the ingredients together.
Once the ingredients are thoroughly blended, continue to add mayonnaise a
tablespoon at a time until the yolk mixture is the consistency that you prefer.
Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves and sprinkle them with
paprika if you choose. Cover and refrigerate the deviled eggs until it's
time to serve them.
***Note: Edible glitter is sugar and carbohydrate free, and if you want to
drive everyone nuts, you can sprinkle edible glitter in the team colors on the
eggs instead of paprika. You can find edible glitter in cake decorating
stores or in places like Michael's Crafts. Anyplace that carries Wilton cake
decorating products will have it.
***Variation: Mixing a 6-ounce can of drained tuna or salmon in with the
yolks is quite good. With the fish, some people might like to add a little dried
dill weed.
