One way to prepare your eggs- the easy way!
A couple years ago, I purchased an Instant Pot. Did you know that you can hard-boil eggs in this fantastic kitchen gadget?? All I did was place the trivet in the bottom of the pot, place my eggs on it and pour in 1 cup of water. Ta-da! Ready in five minutes. AND… they peel beautifully. If it’s something that bugs me, it’s peeling eggs that won’t peel. You know.
Ingredients you need to make devilled eggs.
- One dozen eggs. You can easily only use 6, if that is all you need. Just cut the recipe in half.
- Mayonnaise. I have a great recipe for mayonnaise HERE.
- Paprika.
- Prepared mustard.
- Celery salt.
Feel free to add in anything you like. Hot sauce, pepper, relish, pickles, etc. This is just a simple, classic recipe for devilled eggs.
Steps to making your devilled eggs.
- Hard-boil your eggs. Either by using an Instant Pot, or boiling them on the stove for five minutes. If you are using an Instant Pot, press the pressure cook button, and set it for 5 minutes. After it is done, CAREFULLY release the vent, so as not to overcook the eggs.
- Cool the eggs to room temperature, either on the counter, in cold water, or in the fridge.
- Peel the eggs.
- Cut each egg in half, lengthwise. Pop out the yolk into a small bowl.
- For 12 eggs, I used 3 tbsps of mayonnaise, 1 1/2 tsp of prepared mustard and a 1/4 tsp of celery salt.
- Combine the egg yolks with the above ingredients. Blend well with a spoon or fork.
- If it still seems a bit dry to you, add a bit more mayonnaise. Like half a teaspoon at a time.
- Scoop or pipe the filling into the half egg whites.
Easy way to pipe the egg yolk mixture.
For an easy way to pipe the egg yolk mixture, all you have to do is clip one of the bottom corners of a ziploc bag and fill it with the filling. If you want to get a little fancy, just buy cake decorating tips, and, before you put the filling into the bag, slide the tip into the corner so the end pokes out. And there you go! Easy and super fun to pipe the filling.;)
