Savory Eggs Recipe
- 12 eggs
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons drained pickle relish
- 2 to 4 dashes of Tabasco sauce
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives, plus whole chives for garnish
- 6 tablespoons prepared mayonnaise
- Paprika, for garnish
- Place the eggs in a saucepan. Gently rinse with warm water and drain. Cover with cold water and place over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for exactly 13 minutes. Drain the eggs, rinse under cold water, then peel. Let cool in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for 15 minutes.
- Halve the eggs lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks. Place the yolks in a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the mustard, pickle relish, Tabasco, salt, pepper, and snipped chives. Stir in the mayonnaise.
- Fill the whites with the egg yolk mixture and dust the tops lightly with paprika. Arrange the eggs in a spoke design on a decorative platter garnished with whole chives.
