Ingredients
- 6 fresh eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
- 1 tsp prepared mustard
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Heat water to boiling in the bottom of a double boiler, vegetable steamer or bamboo steamer. Rinse your eggs in warm water (you can use eggs you just collected that morning, if you want) and place them in the top of the steamer. Steam for 20 minutes and then plunge the eggs into a bowl of ice water until they are cool enough to peel. Roll each egg on the counter to break the shell and then crack the wide end of the egg and peel. Perfectly peeled eggs - every time ! And you won't get that grayish green rim along the yolk that results from cooking the eggs for too long and cooling them too slowly.
Halve lengthwise and remove yolks. Set whites aside. Place yolks in a bowl; mash with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, and vinegar; mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff egg whites with yolk mixture. Can garnish with paprika or parsley.
