Easy Deviled Eggs

These easy deviled eggs are made using a recipe that my mother always uses.  These eggs are a perfect addition to potlucks, holiday parties, and family dinners.

Boiling the Eggs

Boiling an egg is fairly simple but achieving a beautiful golden color in the centers can be more difficult for some than others.

After bringing the water to a full boil, add the eggs gently at one time.  While the eggs are boiling for ten minutes, prepare a bowl of ice and enough water for the eggs to be fully submerged in.

This extra step prevents the egg yolks to turn green or becoming discolored.  After the eggs are completely cool to the touch, it's time to begin the next step - preparing your filling.

Deviled Eggs Filling

The texture is really important when making deviled eggs.  If you don't get your filling smooth, it will result in lumpy pieces of egg yolk and no one wants that.

After spooning the yolks out of your eggs, mash them to break them down and make them smooth.

Creaming the mayonnaise and mustard after you have mashed them down will really help achieve that creamy and smooth texture you are going for.
