Deviled Eggs ($0.06 per serving)

Deviled Eggs ( $0.06 per serving)

Deviled eggs are loved by so many people, but they are reserved for holidays, potlucks
or summer picnics. This is one of my favorite things to bring to our church's coffee hour
because it produces a lot, is very reasonably priced and everyone eats them so I don’t
have to bring them home.

Classic deviled egg recipes can be found all over the internet.

For my recipe I started with the Food Network

(https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/classic-deviled-eggs-recipe-1911032)
and adjusted it to our families tastes. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:

6 Eggs

¼ cup mayonnaise

1- 1 ½ teaspoon vinegar (white or apple)

1 - 1 ½ teaspoon mustard

⅛ teaspoon Onion Powder

⅛ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Hard Boil the eggs and cool.

Peel eggs and rinse under cool water. Dry with paper towel. Slice eggs in half
lengthwise. Remove the yolk and place into a bowl and mash until crumble.

Place the egg whites on a serving platter or storage container.

Add the mayonnaise mixture, vinegar, mustard and spices to yolk crumbles and mix.

Use two spoons to fill each egg white half.

If you wan tto elevate the deviled eggs then sprinkle with paprika or a sprig of parsley.
