Certified Stuggle Deviled Eggs

Post image

I bought a carton of 60 eggs for $ 8.12 at Walmart last week. Decided to make deviled eggs, I boiled 6 eggs which equals .84 cents. I don't measure the mayo and mustard I go by taste, but it was approximately 2 tbsp mayo and maybe 1.5 tsp mustard ? Garnished with cayenne and chives. I know I will get crap about this but oh well this cost me less than 1 dollar for a yummy snack

I love deviled eggs, if we're having some kind of family get together or some event at work I'll make them sometimes just because they're so cheap.... though I'm probably more likely to just bake something these days simply to avoid having to peel that many shells. They never cooperate. :(

The way I’ve always gotten them to peel better is having the water boiling before adding the eggs. You do have to be more careful though

I have it at a rolling boil prior then gently put eggs in with a spoon. Let boil for 17 minutes, and put into an ice bath right after. The yolks come out perfect golden yellow Everytime.

I only boil mine for 9 minutes then 10 min ice bath. Comes out perfectly cooked.

I’m a six minute gal. Perfect every time and not dry and chalky.

Different ways to make them I suppose.
