It's Easter Sunday and that always makes me think of hard boiled eggs, Easter egg hunts, and deviled eggs. Actually what went through my mind was a menu of good holiday appropriate food; a nice honey-ham, mashed potatoes with a nice light gravy, peas, potato rolls, and yes you guessed it, deviled eggs.
I love these at family-get-togethers and parties. They are good year round really, but very appropriate I think for Easter.
I found this recipe at Rachaelraymag.com and I found the picture at pinchmysalt.com.
Ingredients:
12 large eggs
Ice water
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper
Paprika, for dusting
Directions:
A Good Hard Boiled Egg
In a large pot, arrange the eggs in a single layer and add enough water to cover by about 1 inch. You can measure by sticking your finger on top of the egg; the water should come up to your first knuckle. Cover the eggs with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from the heat; let stand for 14 minutes. Transfer eggs with a slotted spoon into a bowl full of ice water. Let them stand until they are cool to the touch.
Shell the egg by mapping it with cracks (tap it lightly all over). Peel them in a bowl of water.
Deviled Eggs
Halve eggs lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a medium bowl, reserving the egg whites.
Mash the yolk with the mayonnaise, mustard and cayenne; season with salt and black pepper.
Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves and dust with paprika.
MMM, I loved Deviled Eggs, and these look so good I want to eat the page! Brandon doesn't like eggs all by themselves, so once a year(Easter), I make these, and egg salad sandwiches with the eggs that the kids color. One of my favorite times of year really.
