How to Make Tuna Stuffed Deviled Eggs

In a food processor, beat 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter and 1 clove minced garlic until light and creamy.
Carefully cut 6 hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise.
Gently remove the yolks and set the egg whites aside.
Add the egg yolks to the food processor with the butter-garlic mixture and blend until smooth.
Stir in 1/2 cup drained tuna (packed in water or oil), 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper.
Season generously with herb salt to taste.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Transfer the tuna salad mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip (or use a spoon for a rustic look).
Pipe or spoon the tuna salad into the egg white halves.
Garnish as desired (paprika, extra chives, a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning).
Cover the deviled eggs with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving (can be refrigerated for up to 3 days).
