Deviled Eggs
- 6 whole Eggs
- 1/4 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 whole Pickle, Minced
- 1/4 stalks Celery, Minced
- 1/4 whole Onion, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Mustard
- 1 pinch Salt And Pepper, Or To Taste
- 1 pinch Paprika
- 1.
- First, hard boil the eggs using your preferred method.
- I put the eggs in a pot full of cold water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes.
- Stirring the boiling eggs helps to center the yolks.
- If you overcook the eggs, the sulfur in the egg whites reacts with the iron in the yolks, turning the yolks blue.
- They are still perfectly safe to eat and there is no taste difference, but it doesnt look as appetizing!
- 2.
- Quickly cool the eggs by pouring out the hot water, and then filling the pot with cold water.
- Change the water as the hot eggs warm up the water.
- 3.
- Once the eggs are cool, peel them.
- Try to keep the eggs as perfect as possible.
- 4.
- With a sharp knife, cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop the hard yolks into a medium bowl.
- Set aside the whites.
- 5.
- Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, pickle, celery, onion, mustard, salt and pepper.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- 6.
- Arrange the cooked whites on a plate.
- I like to line a plate with lettuce leaves to help keep the eggs from sliding around.
- Plus, the lettuce adds a lovely colour to the final dish.
- 7.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the egg white cavities with the egg yolk mixture.
- Sprinkle the eggs with paprika and serve!
- Tip: You can prepare this a day ahead.
- Just cook the eggs, halve them, and prepare the filling.
- Keep the whites in an airtight container, and keep the bowl of mashed egg yolk covered.
- Keep in the fridge overnight, then assemble before you serve.
- Also, I generally omit the salt, since the pickle is salty enough.
- Perhaps its the German in us, but we like to add paprika for a little extra colour before serving.
