Ingredients

  • 1dozen large eggs
  • 2 teaspoonsdijon mustard
  • ⅓ cupmayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoonminced shallot or onion
  • ¼ teaspoontabasco sauce
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • paprika, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Steam the eggs: (See how to steam hard boiled eggs .) Fill a saucepan with an inch of water and insert a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil and place the eggs in the steamer basket. (If you don't have a steamer basket, you can just place the eggs directly in about 3/4 inch of water.) Cover the pan and let the eggs steam from the boiling water for 17 minutes for 12 large eggs, or 15 minutes for 6 large eggs. Reduce cooking time by a couple minutes if using regular size (not large) eggs. Then shock with cold water and peel. Have a pressure cooker?

    Prep the eggs: Peel the eggs. Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half, lengthwise. Gently remove the yolk halves and place in a small mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.

  3. 3

    Make the filling: Using a fork, mash up the yolks and add mustard, mayonnaise, onion, tabasco, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Add more mayonnaise as necessary to get to the creamy consistency you want.

    Pipe or spoon mixture into egg white halves: Pipe through a piping bag (star tip) or simply use a spoon to put the egg yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika. Did you enjoy this recipe? Let us know with a rating and review!
