Deviled Eggs Soul Food Idea Recipe

The key to making any deviled egg recipe is to use very fresh eggs. You might have to find someone who has laying hens or possible an organic food store.

Fresh eggs don’t do that. So, find some very fresh eggs for perfect Deviled Eggs.

Heat water to boiling in a 4 quart pot. Put an egg on a slotted spoon and slowly place it in the boiling water. Add 11 more for a total of 12. Boil for 15 minutes then promptly put the pot under cold running water.

Keep running the cold water into the pot until the eggs cool down. Turn water off and leave the eggs in cold water.

When eggs are completely cooled, cracked them and remove the shells.

Slice each egg the long way and carefully pick out the yolk with a fork. Be gentle and do not break the egg white.

Put the yolks in a small bowl and mash them.

Add: ¼ cup of Hellmann’s or Best Foods mayonnaise 1 teaspoon mustard ¼ teaspoon salt 3 dashes of Tabasco sauce
