The filling
for basic Southern-style deviled eggs is nothing more than egg
yolks, mayonnaise, mustard and sweet pickle relish.
Note: This recipe is
based on 12 eggs. To do more eggs just adjust the ingredients
accordingly.Helpful Hint: If you love deviled eggs, but
hate to peel them, most major groceries have boiled eggs in
packs ready for use. They are cheap and convenient.
Ingredients:
12 large Eggs
4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Sweet
Pickle Relish
2 teaspoons Yellow Mustard
1/4 teaspoon Salt
Black Pepper (just a
little)
Paprika as garnish
Preparation:
Place eggs in an
appropriate size pot (Depends on number of eggs.).
Add cold tap
water to 1 inch above eggs.
Heat on high
until boiling. Watch close at this stage because
you need to time the boil.
When water reaches a
rolling boil, time for 1 minute exactly and turn off heat.
Remove
the pot from the stove and let the water completely cool
down.
This
cooling is important because it finishes the egg cooking
process. This can be done the night
before so the eggs are ready to peel the next day if you
prefer.
The eggs are
now ready to peel.
After peeling,
slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
Carefully
remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. A teaspoon
can help remove the yolks without damaging the egg white.
Mash the yolks
with a fork until all the pieces are completely broken up.
Add
the relish a little at a time, mix and taste. Continue
until you can just taste a little pickle in each bite.
Careful not to add too much pickle relish, it can
overpower the egg flavor. Try not to add too much of the
relish juice, this will make your mixture too thin.
(I
prefer to add the relish first so you can see how much
your adding. If you add the mayonnaise first, it will
cover up the relish as you mix it in and make it difficult
to judge the amount of relish you've added.)
Mix
in the mayonnaise a couple of spoons at a time until the
mixture is like a thick pudding.
Mix in the
mustard.
Add the salt
and pepper to taste. Careful not to over salt.
The egg
filling is now ready.
Place the egg
white halves on a large platter.
Using a Quart
Zip bag, cut a small piece off one of the bottom corners to
make a squeeze bag. Similar to the bags used to decorate
cakes.
Spoon the yolk
mixture into the bag and close the top.
Gently squeeze
the mixture into each egg half until a slight hump above the
egg is formed.
Sprinkle lightly with
Paprika as a garnish. This step is optional but it makes the
eggs look much better and doesn’t change the
flavor.
