Ingredients for A Little More Devil In These Eggs

  • Eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Green Onions
  • Sun Dried Tomatoes Packed In Oil
  • Fresh Basil

How to Make A Little More Devil In These Eggs

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan.
  2. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by 1 inch.
  3. Cover the saucepan with a lid.
  4. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  5. Once boiling, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes.
  6. After 15 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  7. Once cool enough to handle, gently peel the eggs under cold running water.
  8. Carefully cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise.
  9. Using a spoon, gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
  10. In a blender, combine the yolks with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion, 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained), and 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves.
  11. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 7-10 seconds. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or use a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off).
  13. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves.
  14. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
