Deviled Egg Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

8 large eggs
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon pickle juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper
paprika
lettuce (optional)

Cookware and Utensils:

1 small boiling pot
1 sieve
1 small mixing bowl
1 pastry bag (optional)
1 serving dish

Recipe Instructions:

As always, the key to great cooking is to be prepared and to use quality ingredients.
This recipe works best if you use fresh eggs. Ask you grocery store clerk for the freshest eggs, less than 7 days old.
Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover with at least one inch of cold water. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook eggs for 8-10 minutes after water begins to boil. Remove from heat and rinse eggs in cold water so that they peel more easily.
Peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Remove the yolk, setting egg whites aside. Push yolks through a fine sieve into a small mixing bowl. If you’re without a sieve just mash the yolks well with a spoon or fork.
Combine the yolk mixture together with mayonnaise, prepared mustard and pickle juice to produce a smooth texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and give one finally mixing.
Using a teaspoon or pastry bag fill egg white halves with mixture. Place egg halves on serving dish, cover with plastic rap. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.

Just before serving, slightly garnish each egg halve with paprika. If desired serve on washed lettuce leaves.
