Spicy Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

8 Large Hard-Cooked Eggs, peeled

1 Tbl Blue Plate Mayonnaise

2 Tbl Sour Cream

1 tsp Dijon Mustard

1 tsp Horseradish

1/2 tsp Dry Mustard

1 tsp White Wine Vinegar

1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper

1/8 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground

1 tsp Fresh Jalapeño, seeds removed and chopped fine

1 Tbl Dill Pickle, chopped fine

1 tsp Sweet Pickle Relish

2 Tbl Green Onion, very thinly sliced

1/2 tsp Creole Seasoning

Instructions

For the hard-boiled eggs:

Place 8 eggs in a large pot. Add cool water, enough to cover the eggs by two inches. Add one tablespoon of salt to the water. Place the pot on high heat and cook for 20 minutes. Drain the water from the eggs and cover completely with ice water. Peel eggs once they are cool enough to handle. Store covered and refrigerated if they are not going to be used immediately.

Spicy Deviled Eggs

Halve the eggs lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl. Reserve the whites.

Use a fork to smash the yolks and mix with the Blue Plate Mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon, horseradish, dry mustard, vinegar, and cayenne until smooth. Add jalapeño, dill pickle, relish, and green onions. Fill each half of the egg whites with the yolk mixture and garnish each one with the Creole seasoning. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
