Recipe: Deviled Eggs
Servings:
12 deviled eggs
- 8 eggs
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Sweet paprika, for garnish
- Fill a medium pot halfway with water and prepare an ice bath. Bring the water to a boil and then remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, gently place the eggs into the pot of water. Return to the heat and bring to a light boil. Cook for 11 minutes, then, using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the prepared ice bath. Let cool completely, then peel and halve lengthwise.
- Carefully scoop the egg yolks into a small bowl and reserve the eggs whites. Over a medium bowl, push the egg yolks through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir in the remaining ingredients until smooth, then transfer to a piping bag fit with a star tip. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling into 12 of the egg white halves, reserving the remaining whites for snacking or another use. Lightly dust with paprika and serve.
