Creamy Devilled Eggs
From Martha Stewart
This classic, crowd-pleasing party snack is the perfect way to start a
casual evening.
Serves 8
Ingredients
8 large eggs
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Paprika, for garnish
Method
Place eggs in a medium saucepan; add cold water to
cover by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil. Remove pan from heat; cover,
and let stand 13 minutes. Drain, and run eggs under cold water to cool
them.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together
mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, shallot, and hot sauce.
Peel eggs, and halve lengthwise; remove yolks,
leaving whites intact. Transfer yolks to bowl with mayonnaise mixture,
and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth.
Mound yolk mixture into whites. Sprinkle with
paprika just before serving, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
up to 8 hours.
