Deviled Egg Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
• Bring 6 cups water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil in a deep saucepan over high heat. Add the peeled celery stalk to the boiled water, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan, and plunge in the ice bath.
• Remove the outer stringy layer of the celery with a vegetable peeler and discard.
• Add the vinegar to the water, and return to a boil. Add the eggs to the pan, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan, and plunge in the ice bath.
• When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them and separate the whites from the yolks. Chop the egg whites to equal ½ cup, and reserve for Smoked Oysters on Toast if desired. Reserve the remaining whites for another use.
• Combine the egg yolks, mayonnaise, Dijon, red wine vinegar, and hot sauce in a medium bowl.
• Dice the celery and fold half into the egg yolk mixture. (Reserve the remaining celery for Smoked Oysters on Toast if desired.) Stir in the chives, black pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt.

Steps:

• Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; set whites aside. In a bowl, mash the yolks. Add mayonnaise, horseradish, dill, mustard, salt and pepper; mix well. Pipe or spoon into egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°. In a large saucepan, cover the eggs with water, add the vinegar and bring to a rapid boil. Cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat; let stand for 15 minutes. Drain the eggs and cool them under cold running water, shaking the pan vigorously to crack the shells. Let the eggs cool in the water.
• Meanwhile, quarter the bread slices on the diagonal and arrange them in a single layer on a large cookie sheet. Toast the bread in the oven for about 6 minutes, turning once, until barely browned.
• Shell the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Coarsely chop half of the egg whites and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the remaining whites and all of the yolks to a food processor along with the mayonnaise and mustard and process until smooth. Scrape the mixture into the bowl and blend with the chopped egg whites. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top the toast points with the egg spread and dust lightly with paprika. Arrange the toasts on a platter and serve. Alternatively, serve the egg spread in a bowl with the toast points alongside.

Steps:

• Reserve 1 egg for garnish. Cut remaining eggs lengthwise in half. Remove yolks; place in food processor. Add mayo, Neufchatel, vinegar, mustard and 12 egg white halves; process until blended. Spoon into medium bowl.
• Chop remaining egg white halves coarsely. Add to Neufchatel mixture with 2/3 of the onions; mix lightly.
• Chop reserved egg finely; sprinkle over egg mixture in bowl along with remaining onions. Garnish with paprika.
