INGREDIENTS:

• 6 hard-boiled eggs
• 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon spicy brown or Dijon mustard
• 2 1/2 teaspoons very finely minced sweet red onion
• 5 drops Tabasco
• 1/4 teaspoon salt or Vege-Sal

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Slice and Hollow the Eggs: Begin by carefully slicing the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.

3. Mix and Fill: Thoroughly mix the ingredients together until they form a creamy and well-combined mixture. Spoon this flavorful mixture back into the hollows of the egg whites, where the yolks were removed.

TIPS:

• Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs: Achieve consistent results by following proper hard-boiling techniques. Gently place eggs in a pot of water, bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let them sit for about 10-12 minutes before cooling them in cold water.
• Smooth Texture: Mash the egg yolks until smooth and creamy for a consistent filling texture.
• Flavor Variation: Experiment with different types of mustard (spicy brown or Dijon) to cater to your taste preference.
• Onion Fineness: Finely mince the sweet red onion to ensure even distribution of its flavor without overwhelming the dish.
• Tabasco Wisely: The Tabasco provides a touch of heat; adjust the quantity to suit your desired level of spiciness.
• Piping Bag or Spoon: Use a piping bag for a neat and visually appealing presentation, or simply use a spoon for a rustic touch.
