Deviled Eggs
These are great snacks and loaded with protein too. Even recommended by the South Beach Diet, which was recommended to me by my heart surgeon, so how bad can they be?
Tried something different to make the peeling a bit easier. It seemed to help. Still used older eggs.
Note: the parts below in Violet are for the new procedure. (08-Oct-2011)
INGREDIENTS:
8 Medium Eggs
¼ cup Mayonaise (approx)
½ tbsp Dried Onion
½ tbsp Dried Chives
2 tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
1 tsp Franks's Hot Sauce
A little Paprika
Or... A little Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil & Garlic
Older eggs are much easier to shell. Put the eggs in a medium sized sauce pan and cover with one inch of cold water. Bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 1 minute, then shut off, remove pan from burner and let sit uncovered for 12 minutes (14 minutes for Large Eggs). Remove the eggs and rinse with cold water before placing them in ice water for 15-20 minutes. Drain and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Now you've got great hard boiled eggs. While they're cooling, put the Dried Onion in about a tbsp of water (in a small cup) and let that sit to plump up the onion bits. Here's the tedious part. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, remove the shells without breaking up the whites. Once they're peeled, slice them in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Carefully pick out the yolks and put into a mixing bowl. Mash them up with a fork. Add the Mayonaise a little at a time, stiring all the time. Depending on the sizes of the yolks and the hardness (dryness) of the yolks, the amount of mayonaise will vary. Use your judgement. Once it's all mixed together, add the Onions, Chives, Worchestershire Sauce and the Franks's. You can adjust these amounts to suit yourself. Mix it all up again. Spoon mixture back into the white halves, sprinkle with Paprika or the Mrs. Dash stuff, and there you have it. Eat at least one while they're still yours alone, and then cover and pop them in the fridge.
