Deviled Eggs With Lemon image

This is an original recipe based upon tradition, with a twist. I was inspired by a recipe I found on Recipe Zaar that included fresh basil.

Time 45m

Yield 18 Egg halves, 6-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 dozen egg, large
1 1/2 tablespoons Italian parsley
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon zest

Steps:

  • Place eggs in pot and cover with water. Bring to a rolling boil. When the water reaches the boiling point, turn the flame off and put a lid on the pot and set aside for twenty minutes.
  • Peel and discard all of the egg shells. Take 3 of the eggs and remove the yolk and discard the whites. With the remaining hard boiled eggs carefully slice through the eggs length wise and remove the yolks.
  • Place all the yolks in a bowl. Finely chop parsley and add all the ingredients to the egg yolks, then combine well with a fork. Consistency should be smooth, add olive oil if needed and taste for seasoning. Transfer egg yolk mixture to a plastic bag, maneuvering to one corner of the bag, twist the excess of the bag pushing the yolks down to the corner.
  • With scissors snip a small opening in the corner of the bag. Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
  • Garnish with finely chopped scallions or parsley.
