Ingredients
Scale
- 6 eggs
- Dash of salt
- Dash of pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon mustard
- 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- Paprika
Instructions
Boil eggs:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan, and cover them with COLD tap water (enough to just cover all the eggs).
- Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Keep an eye on the eggs, and as soon as the water is at a rolling boil immediately reduce the heat to a low-medium boil and cook an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and very quickly place the eggs under ice-cold water or in a bowl of iced water to chill quickly and keep the yolk a nice yellow color.
- Chill for a few minutes in the cold water until the egg is completely cooled. Crack each egg on all sides and peel.
Deviled eggs:
- Hard boil eggs. Cool for 10 minutes and remove shells. Cut into halves lengthwise and remove yolk, place yolk into a small bowl.
- Cream yolk, salt, pepper, mustard, and mayonnaise.
- Put 1/2 teaspoonful into egg whites and garnish with paprika.
