recipe deviled eggs

 Here's a classic deviled eggs recipe:

Yields: 6 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 6 hard-boiled eggs

 * 1/4 cup mayonnaise

 * 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

 * 1/4 teaspoon salt

 * 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

 * Paprika, for garnish

 * Optional: 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion or chives

Instructions:

 * Hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 10 minutes. Run cold water over the eggs until cool enough to handle. Gently peel and halve lengthwise.

 * Remove yolks: Remove the yolks from the egg halves and place them in a medium bowl.

 * Make the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well. If desired, stir in chopped onion or chives.

 * Fill egg whites: Spoon the filling evenly into the egg white halves.

 * Garnish: Sprinkle with paprika.

Tips:

 * For easier peeling, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the boiling water.

 * To make the filling smoother, you can use an electric mixer to beat it.

 * Get creative with garnishes! Try chopped bacon, chopped olives, or a dollop of sour cream.
