RECIPE: Famous Deviled Eggs
Comments (43)Here's my recipe, from my Mom of course. I'm guessing at the amounts, cuz I just do it my taste and consistency, but lets say you're doing a dozen eggs: Miracle Whip, not mayo: 3/4 to a cup (that's a guess, start small, you can always add more) Finely chopped sweet pickles: 2 tablespoons A little of the pickle juice: 1 tablespoon Just a small squirt of yellow mustard: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Sugar: 2 teaspoons to start From here it's just how sweet you like it, and use the type of pickles you like the best. This is the same "sauce" my Mom used for potato salad too, only she added celery seed to the mixture. Hope you like....See More? deviled eggs... OK .... I 'bit '!!
Comments (33)I ran across this method for hard cooked eggs from Julia Child. Please read #5. WHO KNEW! -Grainlady Perfectly Easy-to-Peel Hard Boiled Eggs 1. Start by placing your eggs in the bottom of a large pot. You want the pot to be large enough that the eggs can fit in a single layer. Add water until it's 1 inch above the top of the eggs. 2. Turn on the heat and bring the water to a boil. (If you want, you can add a half teaspoon of salt here like Katie suggests.) 3. When the water boils, cover the pot and turn the burner off. Let the eggs sit in the covered pot for 17 minutes. Get a bowl filled with ice water and set it off to the side. 4. After 17 minutes, transfer the eggs into the ice water using a slotted spoon. 5. Now, bring the water back up to a boil again and place the cooled eggs into the boiling water for just 10-20 seconds more. Cooling the egg causes the egg itself to shrink away from the shell and membrane, and when we give the outer shell that extra blast of heat, it causes it to expand slightly, pulling it as far away from the egg as possible. The eggs then go back in the ice water to let them cool completely. 6. Peel the egg.

Comments (25)I also start my eggs in cold water, bring just to a simmer, then turn the heat off and let them sit for 10 minutes. Drain the hot water and immediately shock them with cold water. Fresh eggs don't peel well, so I usually use the store bought ones for devilled eggs, they're so stale right off the shelf they usually peel. I don't add anything to the water, but I roll the egg on the counter to crack the shell all over and it usually comes right off. I use a very sharp paring knife to cut the eggs in half, and the yolks just pop right out. I mash the yolks with a fork and add mayo, sweet pickle juice, some dry mustard powder, sour cream and a bit of sugar if the kids are eating them. If they're for me they get that mayo-based horseradish sauce, or mayo and horseradish, some dry mustard, salt pepper and a bit of sour cream. Yummy.... I use Penzey's smoked hot paprika for the sprinkle on mine, sweet paprika for the kids, or just salt and pepper on mine sometimes. For Easter, I dye them like Marilyn does, I just mix up some food coloring like I'm dying eggs in the shell, drop the egg white halves into the coloring and let them stay until I get a color I like, then drain the halves and stuff in the filling. Ellen, I find that the disposable bags break for me, even with frosting. I hate 'em, and so I either use a heavy duty freezer type ziplock bag with a corner cut off or a reusable plastic pastry bag.

Comments (85)I'd read this thread before Easter, so I tried the boiling water method. I must have had a cracked egg, because one of them immediately started seeping egg white into the water. I tossed in some vinegar, which I always put in the cold water, but had forgotten to put any in the boiling water. Boiled the refrigerated eggs for 12 minutes, which produced a bright yellow yolk, with no green ring. All the eggs peeled wonderfully, but the one that seeped had a flat end. I sprinkled some salt on the white and ate it, but added the yolk to the others. I like to overfill the depressions in the egg white, too, so I usually add a couple of extra eggs to the pot. I thought I didn't care for deviled eggs, but I always make them for the family. After reading the variations above, I decided to experiment--I added a squeeze of prepared mustard, salt and freshly ground pink, green, black and white peppercorns, and enough creamy Italian salad dressing to make the yolks the consistency I wanted. Piped it into the egg whites, and they were delicious. I'll never go back to Mayo or Miracle Whip. And next time I'll make more, because I will be eating them, too. ;)...See More- 2 years agolast modified: 2 years ago
