Johnny's Deviled Eggs

You MUST have deviled eggs for holidays, special events, bar mitzvah's and that occasional random Thursday

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 C mayonnaise
  • 1 T Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 t Celery Salt
  • Paprika (Sweet for those that don't like spice, hot for those with tastebuds)

Instructions
 

Boil and peel the eggs

  • Bring pan of water to a boil
  • Gently lower eggs into water
  • Lower the heat to a simmer
  • Cook the eggs for 13 minutes
  • Remove the eggs from the pan and immediately place them into a bowl of heavily iced water for a minimum of 5 minutes
  • Gently tap the eggs on a solid surface, all around the egg.
  • Peel the shells off, rinse the eggs in cold water and set aside for next step

Prepare the eggs for deviling

  • Cut each egg in half
  • Remove egg yolk and place in separate bowl
  • Place eggs, cut side up, on a platter

Prepare the filling

  • Take bowl with egg yolks and add all ingredients except paprika
  • Mash and mix egg yolk mixture together with fork until smooth

Fill the egg halves

  • There are a couple ways to fill the egg halves. I like to scoop the egg mixture into a zip lock back and then cut a corner out of the bag. You can then use this similar to a piping bag. If you have a piping bag, use that instead.
  • Gently squeeze mixture into each half, filling the cavity
  • If you don't want to do the piping method, you can also use a spoon to fill the eggs
  • Finally, sprinkle paprika over the eggs. I like to use sweet paprika on half and hot paprika on the other. Spicy deviled eggs are awesome!
