Deviled Eggs

Al K.

Ingredients:
Girls Spoon


Eggs – hard boiled
Miracle Whip
Hellman's Mayo
Penzey's Ground Mustard
Penzey's Powered Garlic (omitted)
Penzey's Powered Onion
Penzey's White Pepper
White Vinegar
Salt
Penzey's Smoked Paprika

Directions:

Cut eggs in half and put yolks in a food processor, set aside the white halves for filling.
Pulse the yolks until they're finely ground

Add 2 heaping tablespoons of Miracle Whip, 1 heaping tablespoon of Hellman's to yolks. Mix.
Scrape the sides of the bowl and add another 1 or 2 spoons of MW and 1 of Hellman's. Mix

You're going to for a smooth, creamy texture. You'll also want to adjust the MW/Hellman's balance too. Again – use your taste buds. We add the Hellman's because MW can breakdown and get watery over time. Hellman's stops this from happening.

Now add a ¼ teaspoon of vinegar and mix. Taste – is it tangy enough for you? Add more if you like. We like ours tangy. Usually as the day goes on, the tanginess turns into sweetness, so we usually go for a bit extra tang upfront.

Now add the ground mustard and mix. Start small and add a little until you get it to your liking.

Do the same thing with the onion and garlic powder. You might go lighter on the garlic.

Same goes for salt & pepper.

Once you get the flavor profile where you like it, it's time to fill the shells.

Spoon the filling into plastic bag. Enough so it will fit comfortably in your hand. Snip one of the bottom corners. Don't make the snip too big – do about ¼” or slightly bigger. It's easier to control the filling process.

Squeeze the filling into the shell and set aside.

After all shells have been filled, sprinkle the paprika on top.
