Deviled Eggs.

Deviled Eggs

12-15 eggs, boiled, peeled, & halved
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 stick butter, melted (this is the secret to truly amazing deviled eggs!)
2 TBSP sweet pickle relish
1 Tsp granulated garlic
1/2 Tsp ground black pepper
1 Tsp yellow mustard
Paprika, for garnish

Place egg yolks into a medium bowl. Mash with mayo & melted butter. Add pickles, garlic, pepper, & mustard. Stir together well, then spoon into egg halves. Sprinkle tops with paprika.

Optional garnishes: shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, pimentos, sliced green olives

NOTE: To avoid overcooking boiled eggs and preventing the gray color around the yolks, use this method - put eggs into cold water; bring to a boil, watching closely. AS SOON AS the water boils, turn off the heat completely, put a lid on the pan, and set a timer for 10 minutes. At end of 10 minutes, pour off water, and cover with cold. Wait 5 minutes, pour off water again, and cover with more cold water. Peel when convenient.
