Years and years of pot-lucks, this one is a keeper. I've made hundreds of 'em, and rarely if ever took any back home to the camp. Usually ended up making a few extra and leaving 'em home to make sure I had snacks for the next day.

A recent trick I learned is how to boil eggs correctly; get the pot of water at full boil, then add eggs w/ slotted spoon, stand close on high heat until water returns to boil, reduce heat and slow-boil for 12 minutes, then quickly cool and ice eggs for at least 15-20 minutes, then dry and refrigerate. Works for me.

Recipe
to the yolk mash add:
mayonnaise, a little salt, and Beaver brand sweet hot mustard
bottom (white part) green onions, thinly sliced, and a leetle bit garlic powder. Fork in well. Amounts vary with portions.

when piped into the egg white halves (w/ plastic bag, corner cut, or just spoon in) garnish with tops of green onions (green parts thinly sliced) and dimple yolk mix on top, and place a drop of Cholula hot sauce on each, or Sriracha, your choice.. I prefer the Cholula. Sprinkle w/ paprika for color, and stand by for magic..... they disappear before the main course, guaranteed.
Enjoy ! :cool:

Sounds delicious. Never thought about spicing up deviled eggs.

bajabuddha going to try this and thank you for the hardboiled egg secret!!!!

Lemme know how it works, CM.... btw, boil-time depends on size of eggs. Extra large needs maybe 15 minutes. Also, older eggs peel easier than super fresh ones.

Enjoy! :coolup:

You don't need to boil eggs that long. 5-7 minutes is fine. Then just let them sit in the hot water till cooled down.

A friend of mine who is a chef and owns a restaurant in San Luis Obispo boils his eggs for 15 minutes.

I used to boil them for 5 minutes and they seemed OK. Now I boil them a little longer.

I hear it is a great restaurant! I was just chatting with someone who helps at Mission San Luis Obispo (who wanted to know about the missions in Baja). I mentioned Phil's restaurant (as he took a photo that is in my book of Visita de San Pablo).

Fine, you do 'em your way, John. Another way is to put eggs in water, bring to boil, then turn off heat and let stand covered 20 min's. Cada loco con su tema.

The reason for boiling - then ice bath is to cause the eggs inside to reduce in size a tiny bit hence making easier to peel. I've done it all 3 ways... have you? No yolk discoloration, and always done to a T. Or an E?

Surprise, surprise, surprise. I have prepared hard cooked eggs in multiple ways. Including your way. Enjoy. I don't think there really is a wrong way to do them.
