A Zillion Deviled Eggs Right Here

[Rozzer]

I'm kind of taken aback that deviled eggs haven't been placed in a prominent position here in the egg forum. No one seems to have raised the issue. No one's posted any recipes. But deviled eggs, why they're about as lascivious and delicious as any other form of egg and they leave so much more to creativity when compared with boiled, fried or scrambled! If you haven't served 'em to guests, they're the kind of dish you offer with drinks and turn aside to sneeze ('Chew!) and when you turn back to your people the eggs have entirely disappeared! Let's have four or five dozen different recipes posted here just to give people a flavor of what can be done!

Traditional (My Tradition, Maybe Not Your Tradition) Southern Deviled Eggs:

Ingredients:

• 7 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
• 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
• Salt and pepper, for taste
• Paprika, for garnishing
• Sweet gherkin pickles sliced, for garnishing
• Pimentos, for garnishing

Directions

Halve 7 eggs lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a small bowl.

Mash yolks with a fork and stir in mayonnaise, pickle relish, and mustard. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Fill egg whites evenly with yolk mixture. Garnish with paprika, pickles and pimentos. Store covered in refrigerator.

Simple wasn't it? Bet you'll just scarf down the first few dozen or so you make while you're trying out the recipe!

Deviled eggs are always a hit. I have a special plate that I serve mine in. It has rounded indents for the egg to sit on and two circles in the middle for salt and pepper shakers.
My neighbour had a BBQ and she prepared them from her chickens. She made over 2 dozen. 50 people invited, I was half way through the line only to watch the empty place go back to the kitchen! Not fair.This year I think I'll make my own. I might share.

Sooo right! I should have made plain that I was talking about a thread dealing with the deviling in the eggs rather than hard boiled egg problems, which have been covered here wonderfully well! That is Step 1. This here's Step 2 (after you've ironed out the hard-boiled egg problems).

Lovely recipes for those devilishly delicious deviled eggs. The first recipe is the one I was taught to make by my mother, and the others are wonderful, too. I will be sure to try them all. I like the Cajun recipe a lot!

Try Asian style red chili paste with garlic instead of Tabasco for a real flavor kick
