Deviled Egg Variations with Foolproof Hardboiled Eggs Instructions Recipe
Stop turning failed hardboiled eggs into egg salad, although egg salad can be wonderful.
There are several ways to hardboil eggs, but the method suggested below works well.
(What causes the green tint to the edge of the yolks is boiling the eggs too long.)
Note: I usually add an extra egg to boil, so I can overstuff the 12 egg halves, using the extra yolk.
Included are some deviled egg fillings:
Tex-Mex Bacon Chipotle
Granny's Old-fashioned
Dijonnaise
Shrimp Remoulade
Smoked Oyster with Curry
