We fixed deviled eggs approximately 3 times last week. Not just ate, but fixed a whole new batch...
It's not just that they're so good (well, maybe it is) but I believe we have a little bit of fun boiling, cracking and peeling eggs together while trying to keep Dax from snatching one of the eggs before he takes off running (since we sit on the floor in the den to crack and peel ours). Much like our chocolate pretzel tradition/obsession.
Some families like to play games together, watch a movie together, etc... we like to make deviled eggs together.
Later comes the real fun when we start firing off at each other with a fine display of methane gas. Nothing revitalizes the senses like deviled egg aftermath.
I thought I'd share our favorite DE recipe. That is if you didn't lose your appetite after reading the above sentence... ;o)
DEVILISH AMMUNITION:
- 7 Hard cooked eggs
- 3 Tbsp Hidden Valley Ranch
- 1 or 1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill weed (to your liking)
- 1 clove garlic, minced ( I use moist ready minced garlic)
- 5 dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
- 1/8 Tsp salt
- 4 Slices of bacon; crisp cooked and crumbled ( I use Oscar Meyer natural bacon bits)
- 1 Tsp seasoning salt
- 2 oz of ricotta OR cream cheese OR plain yogurt (only if your mixture somehow ended up too salty)
Halve hard boiled eggs lengthwise and place yolks in small bowl. Set whites aside. Mash yolks with fork. Stir in salad dressing, dill weed, garlic (I would really recommend using moist ready minced garlic. Clint and I use these with all our recipes that calls for cloves of garlic and it really makes all the difference in the world to us.), hot pepper sauce, bacon and salt. Do a taste test and if too salty for your liking, add ricotta OR cream cheese OR yogurt, Stuff egg white halves with yolk mixture.
Let me know if you try it and you like it better than the sweet relish DE's!
