Owen has been requesting boiled eggs since Easter. Today, I cooked up a bunch so I'd have some on hand. I decided to make deviled eggs to see if he'd like them. They aren't exactly a thing of beauty:
but Owen didn't mind:
He at 2 1/2 halves. (How's that for complicated?) Abram and I each at 4 halves (much simpler math!).
Deviled Eggs
6 eggs
~1/4 cup homemade mayonnaise (see recipe below)
small pickle, chopped finely
~1T. chives or green onion, chopped
Hard boil eggs. (For smallish, pullet eggs: Cover eggs with water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, and boil 2 minutes. Turn off heat, and wait 5 minutes then cool with cold water.)
Peel eggs, slice in 1/2, and remove yolk.
Mash yolks with mayonnaise. Stir in pickle and onion. Fill egg whites with yolk mixture, and serve.
Home Made Mayonnaise
2 egg yolks at room temperature
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. ground mustard
1 cup olive oil
Add all ingredients to blender. Blend until it is thick. (~30 seconds-2 minutes - It will take longer if the eggs are not warm.)
