Classic Deviled Eggs
6 large eggs
3 to 4 tbs mayonnaise
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
1/4 tsp salt or seasoned salt blend
2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley or chives, optional
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
paprika, for garnish
Put the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water to about an inch above the eggs.
Cover the saucepan and bring to a full boil over high heat.
Leaving the cover on the pan, remove from the heat and let stand for 17 minutes.
Pour off the hot water and cover with ice cold water. When the eggs are cold, peel under running water.
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and set on a platter or egg plate. Scoop the yolks into a medium bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork, then add the mayonnaise, mustard, and salt, seasoned salt, or Creole seasoning.
Add chopped fresh chives or parsley, if desired. Taste and add freshly ground black pepper, as needed. If using salt free seasoning, taste and add salt, as needed.
Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
Sprinkle the eggs lightly with paprika before serving. Makes 6 servings of 2 halves each.
