Can you guess which is the most common meal prepared at Easter dinner? Before answering, you should have in mind that something has to be done with all those eggs you boiled and colored. Deviled eggs are an easy to prepare meal, which you can serve at Easter dinner. The deviled eggs are simple to cook because they are just halved hard-cooked eggs with the yolk mashed with mayonnaise and seasonings and returned to the white.
We all love when our joyful event is decorated by the colored eggs. The Easter eggs are so lovely when they are dyed spring colors of blue, green and pink. However, the Easter Bunny always leaves too many eggs. These eggs can be used to prepare deviled eggs. Nevertheless, the deviled eggs cannot be cooked just for Easter.
Deviled eggs can be served for all kinds of occasions. At Christmas, you can put deviled eggs beside the honey-baked ham. Thanksgiving while the turkey is occupying the center of the table, you can serve the deviled eggs as a complement. You can even offer them as a snack when someone comes for a visit. Probably all people will love to see deviled eggs on the table.
Preparing deviled eggs is as easy as to boil an egg. I tell you this to know that if you have never cooked deviled eggs, it will not be a hard task for you. Here are some of the products you will need while preparing deviled eggs: several eggs, mayonnaise (or white salad dressing if you prefer), dill, mustard or sweet pickle relish (your choice) and sweet or hot paprika.
Before you start preparing the mixture for the deviled eggs, you will have to boil the eggs. The important thing is to make sure that you have fully cooked eggs. The making of deviled eggs requires fully cooked eggs. The pot you are going to use must be big enough so that all the eggs and the water will be able to fit in. see for yourself that in the pot there is enough space for the eggs, the water, and extra boiling room. Put the eggs in the stockpot. Then fill the pot with water so that the water surface will be at least an inch over the eggs. Place the pot on the stove. Turn the heat on high.
When you notice that the water become to boil, place a lid on the pot and turn the heat on medium low. Now, you should leave the eggs for fifteen minutes. Then, take the pot from the stove and cautiously put the eggs in cold water. Peel the eggs when they are cooled. By now, you managed to accomplish the most difficult task of the complete preparing of deviled eggs.
The next step is to cut the eggs. Cut them in two halves in the direction of the length. Remove the yolks and place the empty white on a tray. Put the egg yolks into a bowl. Then, mash the yolks with ¼ cup mayo/salad dressing, 3 tablespoons mustard and, 2 tablespoons relish. For well-prepared deviled eggs, you should fill up the mixture into the empty whites using a nylon bag. Make a small hole in the bottom corner of the bag. Squeeze the deviled eggs mixture into the whites. Put as much mixture as you want.
When you are finished with this, powder with sweet paprika or you may prefer hot paprika but first make sure what effect the hot paprika wile have on your deviled eggs. The deviled eggs are ready to be served after you cool them in a fridge for a few hours.
