Bring them to a boil, and immediately cover and remove from the heat. Let the eggs set, covered for 15 minutes. Pour off the water and immediately place the eggs under cold, running water.

After you have peeled your eggs cut each egg in half and with a spoon carefully remove the egg yolks. Put the egg yolks into a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Use a fork to mash up the egg yolks and mix everything together really well.

Add the mixed up egg yolks back to the egg white shells and sprinkle the tops of the deviled egg salad with paprika. You now have some great deviled eggs.

Deviled Egg Spread

You can make the above Deviled Eggs into a great Deviled Egg Spread. Just put everything into the food processor and puree until very well mixed. If its too thick add a tablespoon of mayonnaise. Some people add very fine chopped sweet onion and very fine chopped celery. I like it with the sweet onion and celery added to the mix. I really like the egg salad served on toasted whole wheat toast. Its so delicious made that way. Just be sure if you add onion and celery that you puree your sweet onion and celery very fine. The finer chopped the veggies are the better.

Let your eggs come up to room temperature before you boil them. Use a tablespoon of baking soda in the water you boil your eggs in instead of salt. Salt can sometimes make the egg whites tough while the baking soda will not. The baking soda keeps the eggs from breaking or cracking while they are cooking.

You want all your eggs to be in the pan in a single layer. You want only a couple of inches of water above the eggs in your pan. You do want to start with cold water and eggs at room temperature when you start cooking your boiled eggs.

You want to bring your water up to a boil quickly and as soon as the water is boiling hard remove the pot from the water and put a tight fitting lid on the pot. After 10 minutes drain the water away and then pour or run cool water over the eggs to stop them from cooking and to also start cooling them down.

If you'll follow these instructions carefully you will find that your eggs will peel easily.

If you find yourself with more eggs than you'll use in a few weeks, lightly beat them, add 1/8 teaspoon of salt per egg, pour into freezer containers. Make a note on the outside of the carton how many eggs are contained in the carton. Whole, beaten eggs can be frozen up to 6 months. Thaw your eggs in the refrigerator overnight and use immediately. Be sure that you thoroughly cook eggs that have been frozen.

Refrigerate eggs preferably in the carton they came in with their large ends up. Don't put your eggs in the egg cups in some refrigerators unless your going to use them in 3 days or so. Eggs stored outside the carton don't keep as well as those stored in the carton.

Hard boiled eggs should be refrigerated and should be used with in a week. Egg Salad should be used up with in 3 - 4 days at the most and should be tightly covered while its in the refrigerator.

Place your eggs gently in a pot and cover them with water. Add a teaspoon of salt to your water to keep your eggs from breaking. And the salt will also make it easier for you to peel your eggs when they are hard boiled.

Once you have gently placed your eggs in the pot and covered with water , and added your salt now you want to bring your pot to a boil. As soon as the pot boils turn the pot off and leave it on the hot burner. Leave your eggs in the hot water for 15 minutes before you drain the water away. And add enough crushed ice to cover your eggs. Let them stand 10 minutes covered with ice and then remove your eggs one at a time and peel. You will find that your hard boiled eggs will peel very easily now.
