Deviled Eggs

I have never made deviled eggs, but I like to eat them. Since I am not a big mustard fan, I thought I would try this recipe, which doesn't have any prepared mustard in it. I liked these, but the flavor was not quite what I was hoping for. I will keep it until I find a better recipe. I like that this recipe called for dill pickle juice as an ingredient!!

Deviled Eggs

12 eggs, hard-cooked, peeled, and sliced in half lengthwise
4 T mayonnaise
1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 t. dry mustard
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
2 t. dill pickle juice
paprika for garnish

1. Remove yolks from eggs and move to a mixing bowl.
2. Mash yolks with a fork and add all ingredients except paprika.
3. Mix thoroughly and spoon into egg halves or load into a pastry bag and pipe into whites.
4. Sprinkle with paprika. Makes 24 deviled egg halves.

Mayoneggs

These eggs were touted (by the Best Foods recipe card) to be "something special--the smoothest, creamiest ever". That much is true, they were smooth and creamy, and if you like wet scrambled eggs, then these eggs are for you. I prefer dry eggs, and won't be keeping this recipe. I thought it was strange that they just wouldn't get hard!! The ubiquitous egg-splash-cooked-hard pieces that are almost always on the edge of my scrambled eggs were not present, which was a good thing. I don't know if it was because of the butter added to the non-stick pan (which I normally don't add), or if it was that they were cooked at medium heat (I normally cook them higher), or the mayonnaise. I will test the butter and heat theories in the future to find out!! I added some shredded cheddar cheese.
