My Best Ever Deviled Eggs Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Cut eggs lengthwise in half; remove yolks and set whites aside. In another bowl, mash yolks; add to mayonnaise mixture, mixing well. Spoon or pipe filling into egg whites. Sprinkle with parsley and additional paprika. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• To cook perfect hard boiled eggs: Place eggs in a pot of water seasoned with salt, enough to cover the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Cover the eggs, turn off heat completely and set the timer for 12 minutes. The eggs should be perfectly yellow in the center!
• To make the deviled eggs: Slice eggs in half lengthwise; and carefully remove yolks. Using a fork, mash the yolk with the mayonnaise. Add remaining ingredients (I never use relish, but I know some people like it!) except relish and paprika. Using an electric mixer, start on low speed, then increase to high speed to reach a creamy consistency. Use two spoons to fill each egg with the yolk mixture. Sprinkle a little paprika on each egg, then let set in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. Eat and enjoy! I often make twelve eggs and double the ingredients.

Steps:

• Slice eggs carefully and remove the yolks into a bowl by gently squeezing the egg. Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork. ***THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A SMOOTH FILLING. Do not add any ingredients to the yolks until they're finely pulverized or else you'll end up with lumps.***.
• Add remaining ingredients (minus paprika) and mix very well. Taste and adjust ingredients to taste.
• Put filling into an icing bag* and pipe the filling into the center of the eggs pulling a little up toward the top of the white for an evenly distributed filling.
• Garnish with a light sprinkling of paprika. Refrigerate until use.
• * If you don't have an icing bag: take a ziplock bag and cut 3 small slits in one corner with a scissor. Add filling and pipe out of the corner of the bag. (You can also use a small spoon to dollop in the filling if you don't want to get too fancy.).
