A SIMPLE STUFFING FOR HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• For 2 dozen eggs, cut the eggs in half lengthwise with a sharp knife dipped in cold water, then puree the yolks through a sieve or food mill into a bowl. Blend in 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 4 tablespoons of soft butter, 2 tablespoons of chopped sweet pickle or piccalilli, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. The whites are quick and easy to fill using a pastry bag with fluted tube. Decorate with parsley or a bit of red pimiento.
• A few of many other stuffing ideas: After sieving the yolks and blending in mayonnaise, soft butter, salt, and pepper, blend in:
• Fresh herbs: Such as minced parsley and/or chives or tarragon to taste, or

EASY PEEL NO FAIL HARD COOKED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring the water to a rolling boil - not a simmer.
• Using a push pin (what you would use on a bulletin board, or something similar) gently poke a hole in the fat end of the egg. It's easy to do. This will prevent the egg from breaking when you put it in the water, however, if you skip this, only the occasional egg will pop.
• Using a slotted spoon gently lower each egg into the boiling water, get them all in quickly.
• BOIL - not simmer - the eggs for 6 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let eggs sit for 6 minutes, this will give you a very slightly moist yolk, add 30 seconds or so to boil time if you like them a little drier -to your preference.
• Remove eggs using the slotted spoon and set on a towel or (as I do) in a dish rack, allow to cool to room temp or until you can handle, don't put in cold water.
• Crack and peel shells, they will slip right off, the whites are tender so be gentle!
• Chill and use as desired.
• To cook more eggs increase the volume of boiling water, it should remain boiling when the eggs are added.
• HINT: To season the eggs nicely for lunches, snacks or deviled, put the peeled eggs in a ziploc bag and sprinkle with salt to taste and refrigerate overnight, makes a big difference in the flavor.
