Deviled Eggs
6 eggs 1 tsp. sugar
¼ cup mayonnaise 1 tsp. sweet pickle relish juice
¼ tsp. salt 1 tsp. prepared mustard
dash pepper paprika
Put eggs in large pot in single layer and completely cover with at least 1" cold water over the top of the eggs. Cover and bring to a boil.
When water boils, remove pot from burner, and let eggs sit in covered pot.
Sitting times: medium eggs – 12 minutes
large eggs – 17 minutes
jumbo eggs – 20 minutes
After sitting time, remove lid and place pot in sink and run cold water over eggs or place eggs in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Start peeling the eggs at the larger end, where the air pocket is, and remove the shell under running water to make the shelling easier. You must get a hold of the membrane under the shell when you remove the shell.
Halve hard-cooked eggs lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place yolks in small bowl and mash with a fork. Add rest of ingredients except paprika. Mix well.
Stuff egg white halves with yolk mixture, dividing yolk mixture evenly among the eggs. Garnish with paprika.
Tips:
- Adding a half teaspoon of salt to the boiling water is thought to help prevent the eggs from cracking.
- Starting with cold water allows the eggs to heat more slowly and prevents cracking.
- Older eggs (at least 1 week old) are much easier to peel.
- Never boil eggs. It makes them rubbery.
