AuthorKevin PetrizioI have always looked at hard boiled eggs as convenient but boring. Why not spice them up a little and make them a lot more interesting. You can even chop them up and make egg salad. Just serve in 1/2 of a pita for a great egg salad sandwich."
I find the best way to cook hard boiled eggs is to steam them.
Add 1 inch of water to a medium size pan and heat until boiling.
Put your steamer basket into the pan with 4 eggs. If you don't have a steamer basket, an upside down dish will work. Make sure the water is just below the top of the dish where the eggs will go.
Cover and keep at a med-low heat to just keep the water at a boil. Cook for exactly 12 minutes.
When done, extract all the eggs to an ice water bath for 10 minutes.
For easier peeling, peel under running cool water.
Cut all four eggs in half long ways. Gently remove each yolk to a mixing bowl.
Add mayo and a pinch of dry mustard and mash together with a fork.
Add Morton's Lite Salt and pepper to taste.
Using a teaspoon or piping bag, fill egg white halves with mixture.
Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and chives.
This recipe makes 2 servings
4 Egg halves per serving
Count each serving as: 1 protein - 1 fat
