Tasty Tuesday: How To Make Simple Deviled Eggs

I wish I could rename this recipe to "Angelic Eggs" but no one would know what I'm talking about - so Deviled Eggs it is! I have been making these since my first year of marriage and every year, I am the one who brings the deviled eggs to Easter dinner at my moms. I enjoy making and eating these!

Here's a few of my tips along with my recipe.

1. Hard boil 12 eggs. I put 12 eggs in a pot and cover them completely with water. I put the lid on the pot, bring them to a boil (the lid begins to leak steam) and then I turn the heat off under the pot. Then I set a timer for 15 minutes and let them cook in the hot water.

2. As soon as the timer goes off, I drain the hot water and immediately add ice cold water to the pot. This makes the eggs easier to peel. It's important that you peel your eggs carefully so they are presentable! As you can see in the picture on the pink plate - ont he right - one egg fought back with me and won - I used it's yolk for the mix but threw out the white.

3. After the eggs are peeled, slice them in half. Now massage the yolk out of the white by gently squeezing the white - if it is hard boiled perfectly it will pop right out! I was quite a happy camper that ALL of mine popped out for these pictures (they must have known it was picture day!)

4. After removing all the yolks add to them 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 dashes of pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard. That's it - easy huh? 5. Then mixem' up. And restuff the shells carefully with the mix.

Sprinkle a couple dashes of Paprika across the top and voila - a beautiful dish to take for any occassion! Enjoy!
