MAMA VI'S DEVILED EGGS
Growing up, me and my brothers loved this recipe for deviled eggs and would wipe out a whole platter of them quickly. The only hard part is balancing taste and texture so that the egg yolk does not get too soupy. Start small and add the ingredients a bit at a time.

Steps:
- Boil eggs to get them ready for peeling. A good technique that makes them easier to peel is to 'twice boil' them.
- Bring eggs to boil and let boil a minute or so.
- Then turn off heat and cover the pan.
- Let eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes or so.
- Remove eggs from water, and place into cold ice water and let rest there for 3-5 minutes.
- In the meantime, bring the water in the pan back to a boil and when it is boiling, take eggs out of ice water and put back into the boiling water.
- Let the eggs heat for a minute or so in the boiling water.
- Then remove eggs and put back into ice water to stop them from overcooking.
- This 'twice boiling" helps you peel them.
- Let eggs cool down before peeling them.
- Peel eggs and cut in half.
- Remove yolks from each half and put yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Mash yolks fine with a fork.
- Add the pickle juice, the mustard, the salt, the pepper and the mayonnaise.
- But with the mayonnaise, add it a little at a time and stop adding before the yolks become too soupy.
- In summary, put in just enough mayonnaise to bind the egg yolk together but not so much that the yolk mixture gets soupy.
- Taste test the yolk mixture for desired taste and consistency.
- Note: These amount indicated are approximate guides. Use more or less to your taste.
- Re-fill halved egg whites with the egg yolk mixture.
- When halved egg whites have been filled, garnish deviled eggs by sprinkling sweet paprika over the top of the egg halves.
- This contributes both to the flavor and to color, making eggs more attractive.

GRAND MA-MA'S DEVILED EGGS (NO MAYO!!)
This recipe is unique in that it doesn't have mayonnaise, if you are one that is expecting a "creamy" mayo type deviled egg, this recipe may NOT be for you!! For me the melted butter gives these eggs a unique and added flavor. Adapted from Gooseberry Patch Newsletter. *Cooking time varies based on your method of boiling eggs, so that is a broad estimate!!!
