PESTO-FILLED DEVILED EGGS
Deviled eggs may be old fashioned, but I will always have a weakness for them. I'm always experimenting with fillings for these perfect little protein packages. Pesto, mixed with half of the hard-cooked yolks, is pungent and rich. I particularly like the basil-mint version. Serve these as an hors d'oeuvre or as part of a light lunch.

Steps:
- To hard-cook eggs, place in a saucepan, fill with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. As soon as water is at a roll, cover tightly and turn off heat. Let stand for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a bowl with ice water. Transfer hard-cooked eggs to ice water and leave until completely cooled. Peel off shells and cut eggs in half lengthwise.
- Remove yolks from eggs. Set aside 3 of them for another use (or discard) and mash the other 3 together with the pesto, either in a mortar and pestle or in a food processor. Pipe, scoop or spoon into the egg whites.
- If desired, season exposed egg whites with salt and pepper. Arrange on a plate or small platter and serve.

PESTO DEVILED EGGS
These are awesome deviled eggs! My mom came up with the idea to add Pesto, and I played around with it to see how it worked. It turned out great, I make it all the time and usually it's devoured within a few days. I always make a lot, so you might want to split it in half, or maybe even in quarters.

Steps:
- Steam eggs for about 55 minutes, then let them cool for about 1 1/2 hours. Crack all the eggs.
- Cut the eggs in half long ways, then drop all the yolks into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the yolks. It doesn't have to be perfect at this point, just so that they're small-ish crumbles.
- Add 1/3 cup of water and 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, then stir. Add the pesto, stirring every time you add 2 TBS.
- Evenly distribute the mixed egg yolk and pesto into the center of each egg, then serve.
