Deviled Eggs With Olives

By Jan_C

I found this in a Tapas cookbook I have. A twist on deviled eggs and very delicious. Easy to double or half the recipe.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 whole pimientos, chopped with 8 pieces reserved (sweet red peppers)
• 4 green olives, chopped with 8 larger pieces reserved
• 2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 drops hot sauce
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard
• salt
• pepper
• paprika

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1 Hardboil the eggs. Put eggs in a pan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and run eggs under cold water. Let eggs cool.

2 Crack the eggs and remove the shells. Cut the eggs in half and carefully remove the yolks. Rub the yolks through a strainer into a medium-sized bowl.

3 Add the rest of the ingredients to the eggs and mix well.

4 Fill each egg white with the yolk mixture.

5 Using the reserved pimentos and olives, add one of each to top of every egg as decoration.

6 Dust with paprika.
