Best Lyndas Deviled Eggs Recipes

THE BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

LYNDA'S DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Slice eggs lengthwise, slipping yolks into a separate bowl.
• (I set aside the egg halves that didn't come out perfectly and dice them for use in the egg salad mix.) Add onion, turmeric, dill weed, salt/pepper, about half of the paprika.
• Use a fork to loosen the egg yolks and blend with other ingredients before adding any moisture.
• This helps avoid those lumps of unmixed yolk you sometimes find.
• Add gherkins and juice.
• Add moisture: 1/4 cup mayo and approximately 2 tablespoons mustard to start; mix well.
• (I operate on the principle that you can always make a mix more moist, but taking it out is very hard!).
• Taste.
• Adjust moisture to your preference, using mayo, mustard or pickle juice- whichever is most needed.
• Scoop into egg white halves, top with paprika, chill before serving.
