How to Make the Best Deviled Eggs in the Whole World

Deviled eggs have been a favorite appetizer for many generations. If you want to add some zing to your deviled egg recipe you will love this article.

You probably already know how to boil eggs so I will not give you lengthy directions on how to do this. I start out with about one dozen eggs.

I have found that if I boil my eggs for 10 minutes after they have started to boil that this is enough for them to be done. I then run cold water over each egg individually and peel them under the water. The shells can be removed easily. You cut them in half and that means across horizontally.

My stepdaughter, who is not a prolific cook, couldn't understand why her deviled eggs wouldn't stay standing up. She cut them in the wrong direction. She was inventive enough to put them in an egg carton to transport them.

After removing the cooked yolk from the whites, you can prepare with a potato masher, a mixer or in a ziplock bag. I like to mash mine and then use a mixer to whip them up to make them lighter and fluffier.

If you prepare your mixture in a ziplock bag you can cut the corner off of the bag and squeeze your mixture directly into your egg. If you mix with a mixer you can still put your mixture in a ziplock bag to add to the egg when you have your ingredients mixed. If you have the added meat ingredients for your exotic deviled eggs, you will have to cut the hole a little larger.

Add these ingredients to your taste preference.

Mayonnaise

One clove of garlic pressed

Salt and pepper to taste. I like to use seasoning salt.

Parsley

Dry, yellow, or brown mustard, about a teaspoon

Relish, about a tablespoon

If you add too much mayonnaise your mixture will be runny.

These are my basic ingredients for deviled eggs. If you want to get creative and make some really delicious deviled eggs you can add these other ingredients. If you take these to potlucks or family dinners you will get requests for your secret ingredients.

I add a can of deviled ham or chunky ham to my mixture. You can also add to another recipe, tuna, or canned chicken. You will have a completely different taste treat to your deviled eggs if you add these ingredients. If you want to be really adventuresome you may add just a touch of horseradish to your recipe.

I garnish these with paprika, and or parsley. If you have a deviled egg tray it adds some beauty to your dish. I like to put leaves of romaine lettuce under my deviled eggs. I then add green olives and grape tomatoes around my deviled eggs.

These deviled eggs with added ingredients can actually make a meal with a robust bread, soup and salad.
