Devilish Eggs

A typical BBQ side for me has always been deviled eggs. I absolutely love them and enjoyed may kind in my life thus far. these were always a big hit with my family growing up and now it's wonderful seeing all the mini's enjoy them too. Here's my newest addition to my deviled egg recipes with a kick! Not for the wimpy tongue!

Ingredients:
9 eggs, perfectly hard boiled (see my recipe) and peeled, then halved.
1/4 cup peppered mayo
2 tbsp of horseradish mustard
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of garlic powder
1/4 tsp of ground red pepper
1/4 tsp shiracha hot chili sauce
1/4 tsp ground curry

Garnish:
Green Spanish olives
Smoked paprika

Cut eggs in halved and carefully remove the yolk, add them to a small mixing bowl. All remaining ingredients (besides olives and paprika) and "fork it". Leaves it smooth, creamy and a tad chunky.

Now, I use a baby spoon... But and small measuring spoon will do to fill eggs. You could also use a fancy pastry utensil, or zip lock bag, cutting the edge. Your call.

So fill those eggs up!

Next, cut a Spanish olive in half and place on top, sprinkle with smoked paprika.

I love Egg Salad BUT I HATE Relish. I hate everything about it. Hate the color, texture, taste. Yuck. So this is how I make my Egg Salad, and it seems to always be a hit. SIMPLE, Easy and Delicious. And you could add that nasty crap (relish) but WHY ruin it?

  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Duke's mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon spicy mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoke paprika
Directions
  1. Cook 8 Eggs using my Hard Boiled Egg Recipe
  2. Place the chopped eggs in a bowl, and stir in the mayonnaise, mustard and garlic. Season with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Stir and serve on your favorite bread or crackers.

PERFECT Hard Boiled Eggs

We've all been there at least once in our life. Can't seem to figure out while 3 out of the 12 eggs didn't come out perfect. Well I have JUST the added trick to no doubt produce perfect hard boil eggs EVERY time.
Hard boiled eggs are fanastic for salads, breakfast, snacks, deviled eggs, chicken salad, egg salad... etc The list is endless!
