Deviled Eggs

The versatile deviled egg can be served as an appetizer and a part of a meal.

INGREDIENTS:

6 Large eggs

Real mayonnaise

Parsley flakes

Paprika

Parsley sprigs for garnish

PREPARATION:

Place the egg container on its side for a day before boiling. The yokes will be more centered. Take them out of the frig about ½ hour before cooking. Place the eggs in a single layer in a pan and add water to cover at least 1” over them. Boil for about 17 min. after the water starts boiling. Overcooking won’t make the yokes harder; just cause the formation of the green film on the yoke. Cool in the pan with running water.

When cool, peel them. (Note: peeling under cool water aids in removing the shells) Rinse off any loose shells clinging to the white, pat dry, then cut them in halve lengthwise. Pop out the yokes from each half into a bowl. Mash the yokes with a potato masher. Clean off the masher and add mayonnaise mixing with a spoon until a thick paste is formed. Add parsley flakes to just color and mix in.

Stuff the waiting egg whites with the mixture. Sprinkle with paprika and display on a serving dish with parsley sprigs as a garnish.
