I made this dish for the baby shower, it is a great brunch recipe and the filling can be made the night before and piped into the eggs the morning of the party. I make these at every brunch and there are never any leftover! I took my mom's recipe and made it my own...
Deviled Eggs
1 dozen large eggs
4 Tbsp low fat mayo
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp low fat sour cream
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried dill weed
salt and pepper to taste
few dashes cayenne powder (optional)
fresh chives for garnish
Hardboil eggs. The best method I find is to fill a large pot with water, gently place eggs one by one in pot. Bring to a boil, shut off heat and cover, set the timer for 18 minutes exactly. With a slotted spoon, remove eggs and place in an ice bath until cooled enough to peel. I find the best way to peel the eggs is to tap several times on the counter and peel the shell off, if you want you can rinse under cool water.
Once the eggs are cooled and peeled, slice each one in half lengthwise and carefully pop out the yolks into a bowl. Place the whites into a paper towel lined container and put away in the fridge (if you are making this the night before). Add all other ingredients to yolks and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Spoon mixture into a large ziplock bag and push the mixture into one of the corners and seal. If making this the night before, put the mixture in the fridge. When ready to serve, place the egg whites on a platter and cut the tip off the ziplock bag and pipe yolk mixture onto the egg whites. Garnish by sprinkling either cayenne or paprika over eggs and topping with fresh chives if desired.
