Deviled Eggs

By lsurdin

This is the closest we could come to duplicating my mother's deviled eggs recipe.

She was a wonderful cook, but unfortunately so many recipes were in her head.

Ingredients

• 12 large eggs
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons brown or yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet pickles
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• Paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Cover eggs with cold water by 1-12/ inches in a 4-5 quart pot and bring to a rolling boil, partially covered with lid.

Reduce heat to low and cook eggs, covered completely, 30 seconds.

Remove pot from heat and let eggs stand in hot water, covered with lid, 15 minutes. Rinse eggs under cold water 5 minutes to stop cooking.

Peel eggs and halve lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and mash in a bowl with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, celery and salt and pepper to taste to yolks and stir with fork until combined well. Next spoon into egg whites.

Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
