Easy deviled eggs

Easter was just a couple weeks ago and I realized when I was making deviled eggs I did not have that recipe on the blog and did not take a picture of just the eggs! You can spot that deviled egg on the plate next to the fruit salad and mashed potatoes! This recipe comes from food network. It’s simple with all the flavors you would expect. I always add a little extra pepper to my deviled eggs just because we like that little bite.

INGREDIENTS

12 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 or 2 dashes of hot sauce
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Chives for garnish if desired
Smoked paprika for sprinkling

DIRECTIONS

Hard boil your eggs, I use an egg steamer but you can simply place the eggs in a single layer in a wide sauce pan, cover with one inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer ten minutes. Transfer the eggs to a boil of ice water to stop the cooking. Once cool carefully peel them.

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well. Transfer to a large resealable bag or pastry bag. Snip the end off of the bag. Place your egg whites on a platter and pipe the filling into the whites. Dust with smoked paprika. Refrigerate until serving.

Enjoy!
