| nita's deviled eggs or angel eggs |
| |
| serves 6 persons -- 1 egg each (2 halves) |
| |
| 6 | hard boiled eggs |
| 1/3 cup | mayonnaise plus 1 tablespoon, if needed |
| 1 tsp | dijon or french's mild prepared mustard |
| 2 Tbsp | sweet chopped pickles, drained well |
| 1/2 tsp | table salt |
| 1/8 tsp | black pepper |
| 1/8 tsp | celery salt |
| 1/8 to 1/4 tsp | onion powder or onion magic (available in supermarket |
| | spiceherb sections) |
| | paprika, for sprinkling |
| 6 | spanish olives cut in half (optional) |
| |
| place 6 fresh eggs in a 3 quart boiler. add cold water to cover plus 1 1/2 |
| teaspoons table salt. bring to a boil and boil for a period of 5 to 6 minutes |
| boiling time. turn burner off. take boiler of eggs to the sink. turn cold tap |
| water on and fill boiler, letting it overflow. let run until water and pot |
| are cool. with eggs underwater, crack them all over, being especially sure to |
| crack the rounded end of the eggs well. while still underwater, beginning at |
| the rounded end of the egg, remove shells. sometimes most of the shell will |
| come off easily if you can slide off the thin membrane that is just under the |
| shell with the shell attached. try it. this makes shelling the eggs much |
| quicker and easier. |
| remove eggs from water. drain. cut eggs in half, lengthwise. remove yolks |
| (sometimes a small spoon helps). place yolks in a bowl. place the whites on a |
| serving dish, cut side up. |
| mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork. add rest of ingredients (except whites |
| of eggs and paprika). mix yolk mixture well. fill a small spoon with the |
| yolk mixture and place it in the egg whites. sprinkle lightly with paprika. |
| press 1/2 of a spanish olive in the top of each, if desired (optional). cover |
| dish with plastic wrap. refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. |

| nita's notes: this also makes great egg salad for sandwiches, if eggs are |
| chopped and mixed with ingredients. spread inside of 8 bread slices with |
| added mayonnaise. |
| makes sandwiches. |
| |
| also useful in potato salad or pasta salad. |
| |
| enjoy! nita holleman |
