I've always thought of deviled eggs as springtime bites which follow Easter eggs, and then I noted Deviled Eggs Day is a made-up holiday acknowledged in November. This season works perfectly for deviled eggs since they are a fan favorite from spring celebrations, to summer picnics and potlucks, to game day parties, and right into holiday gatherings. If you don't have a go-to recipe for deviled eggs, feel welcome to try mine:
Hardboil 6 eggs; peel; slice lengthwise; pop yolks into mixing bowl.
Add:
2 heaping spoons real mayonnaise (just scoop from a regular size spoon);
1 spoon Dijon mustard (yep, use the same spoon);
Fresh ground pepper + 1/4 tsp dill weed + 1/4 tsp paprika (no salt or celery salt; the Dijon mustard has plenty).
Mash well with back of spoon to make a smooth filling, adding more mayo or Dijon as preferred for taste and consistency.
Fill egg halves with yolk mixture (use the same spoon, a small scoop or a fancy piping bag).
Garnish some eggs with a sprinkle of paprika and others with dill weed.
In case you got stuck at hardboiling eggs, here's my & Hubby's easy and successful method:
Place eggs in generous size pot;
Add water to cover eggs by an inch and have room for water to boil;
Place pot on stove; turn temp to high; wait for water to boil.
When water comes to a boil, turn off heat; cover pot; let eggs steep in boiling water for 11 minutes.
Pour off hot water and run cold water over eggs to cool. Now the eggs are ready to crack and peel the shells.
From my kitchen, the heart of the home, to yours, Happy Deviled Eggs Day! #sagelanereal
