Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 You thought you were just going to get a recipe for deviled eggs. Well, you will get that and more from my wife who has shared family tradition regarding boiling an egg. First here is the recipe for deviled eggs: Slice the boiled egg long ways from the narrowest end to the widest end of the egg. Now remove the yellow egg yokes from each half of the egg and place them in a bowl. Add some pickle relish to the bowl of egg yokes. Since I am a diabetic she adds chopped or diced dill pickles to the bowl. If you wish to get fancy you might add a tiny bit of chopped onion or chopped or diced olives. For non-diabetics sweet pickle relish is used in place of the dill pickles. Now add to the bowl of egg yokes and pickles a little bit of mayonnaise. We prefer Helman's lite mayonnaise, since it does not contain any sugar as most other mayonnaises do. Also add a tiny bit of yellow mustard. Now take a fork and mix all of the ingredients well being sure to mash the yellow egg yokes in the process. Once this is done the stuffing for the white boiled egg cups or shells, the soft shells is ready to be placed back in the pockets of the remaining egg whites. Now you have half a boiled egg with some pretty good looking stuffing in them. Salt and black pepper the eggs to your taste, and if you wish to add a little more color just sprinkle a little red paprika on top. Now your eyes can see many colors: white, yellow, green, black and red. Your taste buds are now ready for a delicious treat. Enjoy! I prefer the dill pickles, but the type of relish is optional as well as whether or not you use onion, olives or paprika. Tips on boiling and shelling an egg: The secret to getting a pure yellow yoke is in how the egg is boiled. Place tap water in a pan and be sure you have a lid that fits the pan. Now place the number of eggs you wish to boil in the water and bring the water to a boil. When the water starts to boil place the lid on top of the pan and remove the pan from the hot burner and let it sit for twelve minutes; no more and no less. Place the pan of boiled eggs in the sink and run cold tap water over it until you can take out the eggs with your hand and tap the boiled egg on the sink or counter at the widest end of the egg. Once the egg has cracked continue to rinse it under running cold water while removing the outer hard shell. There is a very thin membrane between the egg white and the hard shell. If you can get under this it makes removing the hard shell very easy or at least easier depending on the age of the egg. It is easy to damage the egg whites if the egg is very fresh, say less than a week old. For easy shelling eggs that are two to three weeks old are easier to do. Once you slice the boiled egg you will know if you did it right. Egg yokes cooked or boiled for exactly twelve minutes are a pretty yellow. Egg yokes cooked for a longer period of time have a green tint to them and some may appear chartreuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Deviled eggs are also good with some garlic powder added. I also sometimes make them with tuna added.
