Ingredients

  • 12 whole Eggs
  • 1/4 cups Butter, At Room Temperature
  • 1/4 cups Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoons Ground Red Pepper
  • Hot Sauce, to taste
  • Salt And White Pepper, To Taste
  • Paprika, For Garnish

Method

  • Put eggs in a pot and cover with water.
  • Bring to a boil and then move to another range and allow to cook for around 10 11 minutes.
  • Do not overcook the eggs or they will turn green due to sulfur (although they are still fine to eat).
  • Put boiled eggs in another bowl of ice water to cool.
  • Peel while running under the water faucet if still warm.
  • Cut eggs in half lengthwise; carefully remove yolks.
  • Mash yolks; stir in butter, mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice.
  • Add vinegar, red pepper, hot sauce, salt, and pepper, tasting for desired result.
  • Spoon or pipe yolk mixture evenly into egg white halves (we spoon it in where I come fromno need for the fancy pastry bag).
  • Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
  • Cover and chill at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
  • Yields 2 dozen.
  • Kitchen tip: Dont use farm fresh eggs for this recipe.
  • Older eggs have a tendency to peel easier, which may spare you a little grief.
