This is a classic recipe for deviled eggs, with the secret ingredient of the teaspoon of vinegar that adds to the flavor. You'll remember to add it every time!

Ingredients

• 6 eggs, hard boiled, cooled and peeled
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped chives
• Hot pepper sauce
• Paprika
• Salt and pepper
• Variation: add 1 teaspoon chopped canned jalapeno peppers
• 4 radicchio leaves, for garnish
• 3 parsley sprigs, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Place the cooked egg yolks in a bowl. Using a fork, work the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, chives, and salt and pepper into the yolks to form a smooth paste. Taste.

Place 1/2 of this mixture in a small pastry bag with a large star tip. To the remaining mixture, add the jalapenos and season with Hot pepper sauce. Fill 6 of the egg halves with the basic filling.

Fill the pastry bag with the jalapeno filling. Fill the remaining egg white halves. Top with paprika. Place on a platter on the radicchio leaves, and parsley sprigs.
