- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 T Dijon mustard
- 1 T horseradish
- 1/2 t sambal olek (chili paste)
- granulated garlic to taste
- lawry's season salt to taste
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- Hard boil eggs (this is typically 10 minutes once it starts boiling). Cool in ice water and peel.
- Cut eggs in half; place yolks into a food processor and display whites onto a serving dish.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor with the yolks and puree until very smooth.
- Place yolk filling into a pastry bag with tip of choice and pipe the filling back into the whites.
- Sprinkle with chopped herbs, green onion, smoked paprika or all the above for garnish.
- Makes 12 halves and can be completed in about 20 minutes.
Notes
- Rule of thumb is the older the egg, the easier they are to peel; this is a good reason to stock up a week or two ahead and let them "age."
- There are many variations on deviled eggs; have fun and play around! Once you get the basics down, try folding in chopped crab meat, fresh pesto, or garnishing with blanched asparagus tips.
- If you do not want the spice, substitute a little lemon juice for the mustard, horseradish and chili paste
- Enjoy with your cookout this summer or save for the holidays - just make plenty.
