What The Devil!?

A hard Body Pump class requires protein replenishment from eggs.

IMG_0441

I just happen to LOOOOVE deviled eggs, but I’ve never made them! I just toss them down at picnics every summer and wish it were summer the other 9 months of the year. So today I decided to make my own summer picnic spread (even though it feels more like October outside today!)

IMG_0452

First: hard boil your eggs. Put eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to just below a rolling boil. Cover and set timer for 13 minutes. Then dunk into ice water. New step I learned today: LET THEM COOL FOR A LONG TIME!

IMG_0432

I took a shower while they cooled completely (I’m always in a rush to peel + eat them!) and today they were soooo much easier to peel having had the chance to turn my ice water to just cold water.

IMG_0434

Slice in half with a sharp serrated knife

IMG_0435

I was afraid the eggs would fall apart when I tried to get out the yolks, but I just squeezed them a little  on the sides and the the yolk plopped right out!

IMG_0436

I mashed the yolks with 1 heaping tsp of mayo, 1 tiny dollop of dijon mustard plus salt, pepper and about 2 drops of apple cider vinegar. I like my deviled eggs very simple. The worst kind are those with relish in them – gross crunch reminds me of onions!

IMG_0437

The mash went back in nicely with the help of a spoon (no need to dirty up my icing piping set, but that would be fun if this were for a crowd)

IMG_0438

Smoked paprika for the final punch!

IMG_0439

And they were ready to gobble up!

IMG_0440

I surrounded them with watermelon for the ultimate summer fiesta.

IMG_0446

And added a side salad made up of garden-fresh romaine, goat cheese, p-nuts, tomatoes and raisins all drizzled in olive oil, honey and smoked salt (from Whole Foods)

IMG_0445

Lemonade water on the side!

The eggs were absolutely delicious. I have 2 more in the fridge just hard-boiled, so I might have to make these again soon!

    Yep, once you’ve gone to the trouble to peel the hard boiled eggs, turning them into deviled eggs is the easy part. I do that fairly often — my “never made it” goal for sometime soon is egg salad.

    We buy farm-fresh eggs at a farmers’ market, which are great for almost everything, but older eggs actually peel more easily. We’ve actually started labeling a carton of eggs with a note saying “for hard boil” and letting them age a few weeks before hard boiling them. Even aged a few weeks, they are probably still way fresher than conventional supermarket eggs 😉

    Yumm I love deviled eggs! I like to mix the yolks with a bunch of curry spices and garnish with a bit of garam masala, or just mix them with Greek yogurt, dill, and sprinkle with chives for a lighter flavour…… but any seasoning is fine with me. Have a fab afternoon Kath!

Thanks for the simple deviled egg recipe idea. Funny that you made a summery lunch – it’s beautiful here & I’m planning a picnic with my beau for dinner. Love pinic-y/summery foods!! 😀

    I love deviled eggs! It’s also good if you mash up the deviled egg with a fork and put it on a piece of toast. I know you said you don’t like onions, but that is a good idea. I love onions and never thought to put them in deviled eggs before!

    For a fleeting moment, I craved reviled eggs, for a vegan, that not not an easy or common request. So I decided to give it a try with tofu. Success! My nine year old devoured all she could. She was impressed, although, I could have shaped them neater. The taste was spot on. I will have to make them for our Mother’s day picnic. Thanks for the reminder!!!

    I usually stay away from egg yolks but I love them in deviled eggs! some mayo makes everything better I guess 🙂 I never make them myself though – for some reason, I find them to be oddly intimidating, one of those things you love but could never possibly make yourself! not sure why, but you make it look easy 🙂

    Have you ever tried hardboiled eggs in the oven? 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, place individual eggs in muffin pans. The eggs won’t slide around as much as they do in a pot of boiling water, and I think they taste better, too!!

      You put them in a muffin tin in the shell? Interesting!

      I always boil a dozen at a time. I figure I might as well do a big batch since I’m boiling water anyway, then I have snacks for a few days.

    I chop (and de-seed) jalepenos to add! It only adds a little heat, but its good! And I cheat by using a small ziploc bag (tiny cut in the corner) and pipe them in! No fuss, no muss!!

    After I read your post I decided that my 3 year old daughter and I would make deviled eggs for our afternoon snack! She loved helping me peel the eggs, mash up the yolks and most of all sprinkle on the paprika. They were delicious and a great activity! I hope someday you’ll enjoy cooking with your son. Have a Happy Mother’s Day!

    If you break the shell a little before you put them in cooling water, they will peel easily.

    You are just like me with the onion thing. SOOOO nasty! And anything that has that crunch is off limits. My husband says I am a picky eater, but I insist its not my fault the people put world’s nastiness food into everything.

    I will eat sauteed onions and french onion soup because the icky crunch factor is gone. And they are by themselves.

    Hi Kath!
    I couldn’t resist the urge to let you in on my secret ingredient for deviled eggs- Sriracha hot sauce! Added to the mayo, it gives the eggs this incredible smokey-spicy flavour. I also sprinkle with smoked paprika instead of regular paprika, and sprinkle a bit of course sea salt on top for a little crunch (not like onion-crunch, I’m with you on the grossness that is raw onion)
    Enjoy 🙂

    I had to laugh – I’m always trying to get the right crunch to my deviled eggs by adding relish AND finely diced onion! But I think we can all agree that deviled eggs are fabulous, however you like ’em. I’ve never turned one down!
