This is a simple deviled eggs recipe that I use when I bring eggs to any holiday party. Last year I put them on a Steelers’ logo plate for the Super Bowl, and every time someone ate one, the Steelers scored a touchdown 🙂 I like the more basic recipes like this one for eggs because the more stuff you add, the more likely that someone isn’t going to like them (like relish for instance).
1 dozen eggs
1/2 c. mayo (this is a starting point for people who don’t love mayo, by the end I may use up to a cup depending on the consistency)
1 teaspoon mustard (I use the mustard pretty sparingly)
1/4 of a red onion (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon teaspoons of garlic powder (you can use minced garlic here)
Smoky Paprika (The smoke make all the difference)
– Place eggs in pan with water to cover plus one inch. I usually start with lukewarm water in the pan.
– Once the water comes to a boil, cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the eggs for 15-30 minutes.
– Run cold water over the eggs and peel them. Shake them in the pan while the water is running to start cracking the shells.
– Cut eggs lengthwise and put yolks in a bowl with the mustard and mayo.
– Mix well and add more mayo as necessary to make the mixture really creamy.
– Return filling to the eggs and garnish with paprika and more pepper
