    What Sort of Things Do You Like to Put Into Deviled Eggs?
    Hi, All!

    Okay. I'm somewhat of a simpleton when it comes to cooking. I like to try to make a number of different things. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes not.

    Am getting into the egg realm here. Omelets are no problem My kids rave about my omelets.

    Deviled eggs...

    Hmmm...

    Somewhat of a mystery to me.

    Sure, I can boil them, take out the yolks, etc. I also like to add the paprika to them.

    What are some other possibilities, please?

    Thanks!

    My grandpa used to make yummy deviled eggs. A friend of his once tried to copy his recipe. She didn't realize that he'd put paprika on them and accidentally chili powder on instead. You could give them a kick with that. I like them best though with just mayo and mustard mixed in with the paprika sprinkled over.

    I've been boiling them as we have been writing, justcurious55!

    I was just thinking about putting only the paprika on them! I guess that wouldn't be the optimum thing to do as far as taste!

    Okay, mayo, mustard, paprika...

    Anything else? Any other ideas from folks?

    Thanks!

    Me and my mum just do this-

    After halving the boiled eggs, mix (by hand) Miracle Whip into the egg yolks, to taste. Then sprinkle with paprika

    I just ate four halves of the deviled eggs using the mayo, mustard and paprika. I have no idea as to whether the proportions of the ingredients were correct or the best.

    They were okay and tasty. But, it seems like something was missing...

    Thanks!

    More mustard? Or different mustard?
  • Mar 13, 2010, 11:05 PM
    Clough
    Perhaps that was what I might have used a little more of, justcurious55! But, you know, using mustard is kind of tricky. I tend to be afraid of using too much of it.

    Thanks!

    I used to be too. But I don't cook as much lately and have been enjoying other people's cooking more. My cousin and my co workers like lots of mustard on everything. They've rubbed off on me :)

    That is funny, justcurious55! Oops! :p

    I'll try more mustard the next time. The mustard that I used was one that my daughter had gotten me for Christmas. Seemed to be rather pungent smelling, so I was afraid to use too much of it.

    Try using a little dry mustard also, it has a different flavor. I also use finely diced green onions, salt and pepper.

    Experiment Time Here Tonight!
    Am frying fresh, small pieces of celery, minced garlic, small pieces of mushrooms, and white onions.

    Eggs are boiling as we write...

    Let you know in a bit how it turns out!

    Okay to add creamed cheese? Don't know...

    Oops! I will be adding the mustard and paprika! Forgot about those things!
  • Mar 25, 2010, 09:50 PM
    Clough
    Oops, again! Just tried to peel on of the eggs and it was still runny!

    More boiling time in order here!

    Made a mess, and where I'm house and dog sitting, they like to have everything perfect! (At least to a reasonable extent. They do put up though and trust me with their "stuff" anyway!)
  • Mar 25, 2010, 09:54 PM
    Just Dahlia

    Sounds great! I would add the cream cheese a little at a time to see how it tastes and then you really need to let us know how it turns out:)

    Everything sounds good

    Edit: don't forget a little salt and maybe a dash of sugar
  • Mar 25, 2010, 10:17 PM
    Clough
    Salt and sugar? Not sure about those. Will try them on a couple of the halves of eggs though. Looking for ideas here. Really getting into the egg thing!

    I'll let you know how things turn out in a bit.

    How long do I need to let them boil, please? It's on high, but not my stove.

    Thanks!

    I let them boil for at least about 12 minutes. So, what's your favorite way been so far clough? Now you've got me hooked on deviled eggs again! Except for I've been getting lazy with them and just sprinkling a touch of sea salt over the half, spreading a little garlic aoili mustard on, and some paprika-not even mixing it all in together.

    It took longer than 12 minutes on the present stove where I'm house and dog sitting. Got the job done, though. I will try your ingredients. Looking forward to other ideas here too!

    Thanks!

    How did they turn out?

    Sugar/salt combo

    Have you ever tried sweet cantelope and salty bacon? They both bring out the flavors in each other and are great!:D
  • Mar 26, 2010, 07:25 PM
    Clough
    No, I haven't tried sweet cantelope and salty bacon in them. I would be willing to try them, though.

    I guess they turned out okay. Ate one of the sides of egg that I had filled. Seems like maybe I should have re-heated them, though to make them even more tasty.

    Still looking for ideas here...

    The cantelope and bacon are just to eat, not for the eggs. I was just giving an example of the sugar/salt taste:)

    I believe that deviled eggs are much better cold, maybe the next day after the flovors had time to meld.

    I may have overdone it with them though. Maybe too much frying of the ingredients?

    Just your regular hamburger relish. Mix some up in the yoke mix, not a lot. I thought it was pretty good.

    Heated a couple of the halves up in the microave oven. Seemed to help...

    Well, I just made a bunch more deviled eggs! They turned out much better that the last batch!

    Lightly fried most of the ingredients instead of over-frying them. - Celery, minced garlic, red onion, fresh mushrooms.

    Added Miracle Whip, mustard to the mix later and sprinkled the paprika on top of them after filling the eggs with the mix.

    I even used sweet relish in the mix! Tasted pretty good with that!

    Am still going to do some experimenting here. Anymore ides as to things to add to the deviled eggs?
