Deviled Eggs

by scott on March 20, 2008

in Recipes

Here is the recipe from Quick Fork: Evil eggs:

1 dozen eggs, hard boiled, cooled and shelled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons mustard
salt and pepper to taste
paprika for dusting

Cut eggs lengthwise, remove yolks to bowl and place empty white halves on a plate or platter. Take bowl of yolks and work in mayonnaise and mustard with a fork until it is creamy and fairly smooth. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise according to your consistency preference, I prefer a fairly stiff yolk mixture, so I use less. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Fill hollow whites with a spoonful of yolks. You can also do this with a piping bag, but I prefer the rustic look that spooning it in gives. Top with a sprinkling of paprika and serve.
