Polly's Deviled Eggs
I have tried dozens of recipes for deviled eggs and this is my favorite. This recipe comes from Polly Judd (Food Network).
Ingredients
- 1 dozen eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise (original called for 2/3 cup, but that made the filling too liquid in my experience)
- 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish, drained of excess liquid (reserve the liquid)
- 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tsp Worchestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 6 drops hot pepper sauce
- Paprika, for garnish
Directions
- Hard boil the eggs. (Place eggs in large sauce pan with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Boil for 10-15 minutes. Pour off hot water. Cover eggs with ice water.)
- Let eggs cool for 15 minutes.
- Peel the shells off the eggs.
- With a long thin knife, cut the eggs in half, lengthwise.
- Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Set the whites aside.
- Mash the yolks with a fork.
- Mix the remaining ingredients (except Paprika) with the yolks. If the filling is too thick, add a little of the reserved pickle juice or some mayonnaise.
- Spoon the filling into the hollowed-out whites.
- Sprinkle with paprika.
