classic mayonaise with a pep-up of stone ground Dijon musttard, egg yolks all mooshed together then place within the wells of slice *top to bottom so there are two wells not one honker and half a wasted top* of the boiled whites combine to make…. Deviled Eggs. simple, fast and elegant.

note above is that magic yolk piped into the egg halves from a pastry bag. many people are cheffing it up these days. but I long ago havent replaced my pastry bag that grew legs with 13 moves I’ve made since 2004. so, what’s a soul to do? whip out the ziplock.
I have only cut the corner on a bag – but, here is a video, and product thingum

COST???? 20 cents for a ziplock there abouts, 1.79 for the coupler, and 1.09 for a tip or 3.08 but much you can re use. toss the ziplocks after using

many mince onion, sweet pickles luncheon meats bacon peppers herbs and spices into their version of “heaven” what’s you quickie snackum recipe? the oddest was fresh dill and onion it tasted quintession dill pickly yet there was no salt note and that disconcerted me. I came to the taste of dill long before I knew it was an herb…thus I never think of that taste but from the lens of experience pickle.
many also paprika sprinkle their eggs to give it thats “broiled” look. I have done that and also used chili con carne powder for the sassier zest. do you try to improve that look or do you quick prep?

many many have seen the old tupperware servers of deviled eggs. or perhaps a prettier tray, but here is a selection of links to them anyways. prices range from 10-40 clams for them I’m rather surprised.

I have even seen them cost upwards of 80 dollars or more… eek.
but this is one thing I remember – the only time a lil french isn’t a sin, I remember how cook the eggs just right so that they’re fully hard boiled yet there is no. green rind on the yolks outside. this lesson was courtesy of pbs and jacques pepin. of orse hb’s spin and raw ones dont… but there really isn’t any good way to tell where in process the eggs are but boiling water and time. I am not at sea level but over a mile high in altitude and thus a 5 minute egg which is soft boiled – 7-8 hard boiled is 12-13 minutes at altitude. Iget twelves when I take care to heavily salt my boiling water…this isn’t for taste! this is for the simple physics that eggs float more in salty water…this helps me loose less to damage. I’m not keen on storing broken shelled eggs in the fridge…however
they can for a week shell intact…marked. yes there is nothing worse than losing a precious hard boiled egg to a inattentive breakfast maker….I am that inattentive breakfast maker
I would like to point out that it seems odd a master chef would run a special about the simplest of foods yet one who can not respect and prepare simple things well might not be a good canidate for preparing far more expensive ingredients…. oh and the first thing I ever cooked was? heh an egg. fired. I used to like them sunny side up but nowadays this means snotty uncooked eggs…I don’t like raw egg…ew. over easy to over medium is nice but again same thing I STILL get unooked eggs too often, so most of the time its FRIED meaning over hard or scrambled and oddly enough I am not worried about a lame breakfast but it has gotten so boring I haven’t cooked eggs with perhaps toast in a long long time of years. production breakfast yes but simple no.
