A favorite dish at parties and potlucks, Deviled Eggs also make a great, protein-filled anytime snack!

Ingredients 

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Saucepan
  • Ziplock Bag Optional

Instructions

  • Hard boil eggs by placing eggs in a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to simmer; cook for 15 minutes.
  • Immediately rinse under cold water to stop cooking and to make it easy to peel off shells. Refrigerate peeled eggs (without shells) until ready for use.
  • Slice eggs into halves lengthwise. Remove yellow yolks and save whites.
  • Place yolks in a one quart zip lock style bag along with the remaining ingredients (except the egg whites). Press out air.
  • Close bag and knead (mush together) until ingredients are well-blended. (Note: you could also put yolks in a bowl with other ingredients [except the egg whites], and mix together well until they look like a paste).
  • Push contents toward one corner of the bag. Cut about 1/2 inch off the corner of the bag. Squeezing the bag gently, fill reserved egg white hollows with the yolk mixture. (Note if you used a bowl, you can spoon the yolk mixture into the egg whites).
  • Chill to blend flavors. Optional; top with paprika.
