NIçOISE DEVILED EGGS WITH TUNA

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. See note 1 below.
• Arrange eggs in steamer basket, if using. Lower basket into water. Or use a spider strainer or large spoon to gently submerge eggs a few at a time until you've added them all.
• Set a timer for 12 minutes.
• When the water begins to bubble vigorously again, reduce heat to maintain a brisk simmer so the eggs don't jostle around too much.
• While the eggs cook, fill a large bowl halfway with ice water.
• When timer rings, pull eggs out of pot and plunge into ice water.
• Cool for 15 minutes.
• Peel carefully and give a quick rinse under running water to remove any remaining bits of shell.
• Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks to a medium bowl.
• Mash yolks well with a fork.
• Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix well, until the yolks are incorporated into the mayo and the mixture is smooth and even.
• Use a fork to flake the tuna into the mixing bowl.
• Add shallot, olives, sun-dried tomato, and parsley and mix until nice and creamy.
• Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, a resealable plastic bag with one of the bottom corners snipped off, or a spoon, pipe or spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg halves.
• Garnish each piece with a small parsley leaf, if you like, and serve.

NIçOISE DEVILED EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Place pot over medium/high heat. When the water begins to boil, cover pot and remove from heat. Allow eggs to sit in the water for 12 minutes. Remove eggs and place in an ice water bath to stop the cooking. Refrigerate until ready to use. While the eggs are cooking, fill a medium saucepan with water. Add potatoes and bring to a boil. Boil potatoes for about 5 minutes or until tender. Use a slotted spoon to remove the potatoes and set aside to cool. Add green beans to the boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes or until beans are bright in color and just tender. Place beans in an ice water bath to stop the cooking. Chop the potatoes and green beans; set aside. Peel the eggs. Cut them in half lengthwise and separate the whites and the yolks. Place the yolks in a large bowl and add potatoes, green beans, tuna, mustard, white wine vinegar, olive oil, Niçoise olives, shallots, tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste. Use a spoon to scoop filling mixture back into the reserved egg whites. Arrange on a platter and serve! Enjoy!

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.
