Deviled Eggs

I love deviled eggs. I'm going to post a few of my favorite recipes for you. These are always a crowd pleaser. I've never met anyone that doesn't love deviled eggs... of course in my family the 40 or so hard boiled eggs that we hide at Easter are gone the same day...

Classic Deviled Eggs

6 hard boiled eggs
1-3 Tbsp mustard
1-3 Tbsp miracle whip or mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper to taste
Paprika for sprinkling

Cut hard boiled eggs in half and remove yolks carefully, you don't want to damage the whites. Smush the egg yolks up with a fork, or... if you wanted to... you can throw them in a big ziploc baggie and smush them with your hands ( this way is more fun )Once you've got the yolks nice and mushy add in your salt and pepper, mustard and miracle whip or mayo. You can adjust how much you put of each, so if you prefer more mustard then put more mustard. After you've got everything mixed together go ahead and start filling your egg whites up. If you put it in the plastic bag then just snip a corner off and use it like a piping bag. If you didn't, then you can just use a spoon, a piping bag, or a ziploc bag. :D Easy peasy. Sprinkle paprika over the top for color, and a tiny bit of flavor.

Deviled eggs with avocado

6 hard boiled eggs
1/2 avocado

Another variation
6 hard boiled eggs

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
1/4 teaspoon paprika (a little more for dusting the eggs)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Cut eggs in half and remove yolks. Mix everything except egg whites together. Fill egg whites and then sprinkle with some paprika.

Yet another variation

paprika

Cut eggs in half and remove yolks. Mix egg yolks until smooth, add Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth, add green onions and pickle relish. Spoon into egg whites and sprinkle with paprika.
