Deviled Eggs

Basic Deviled Eggs Recipe

12 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons mustard
Salt and pepper
Paprika

Place eggs in a saucepan with water to cover plus 1 inch. On medium-high heat, bring the eggs to a low boil. After 15 minutes from the time they start to boil, remove the pan from the stove and run cold water directly on the eggs for a few minutes. Peel under cold running water, also.

Halve the eggs lengthwise. Remove the yolks, place them in a small bowl, and mash them with a fork. Add mayonnaise and mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Spoon the mixture into the egg-white halves. Garnish each with a sprinkle of paprika, a parsley sprig, or as desired and voila! The Deviled Eggs Recipe come to life. Makes 24 appetizers.

Note: A bed of decorative lettuce leaves or alfalfa sprouts will keep the eggs from sliding around a platter or shallow bowl.

Try one of these options

 

Substitute sour cream for the mayonnaise.

Substitute mustard with Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard.

Add one of the following to the filling: 2 finely chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons minced parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped chives, 1/2 cup chopped shrimp, crab, or salmon, 3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese, 1/2 cup chopped olives, or 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

Reduce mayonnaise to 1/3 cup and add 3 teaspoons cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Sweet Potato Pecan Pie


1 prepared sweet pie crust, recipe follows
1 pound sweet potatoes, baked until fork tender, peeled and mashed
1/2 cup pure cane syrup (recommended: Steen's)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
5 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan pieces
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
Pinch salt
Chocolate curls
Sweetened whipped cream, accompaniment
Confectioners' sugar, garnish
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to fit a 10-inch pie pan. Fit inside the pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, Steen's syrup, spices, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and mix well. Pour the filling into the unbaked pastry shell. Spread the pecan pieces evenly over the filling.

In another large bowl, beat the remaining 4 eggs. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla, granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt and stir to blend. Pour over the pecans and bake until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown, about 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls, whipped cream, and confectioners' sugar.
Sweet Pie Crust:
8 ounces all-purpose flour, about 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/4 pound) cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons ice water
Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Using your fingers, work in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and work with your fingers until the water is incorporated and the dough comes together. Add more water as needed to make a smooth dough, being careful not to over mix. Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
Yield: 1 (9 or 10-inch) pie crust

White Potato Pie

White Potato Pie

Ingredients:
3 large pototoes
1 cup butter (2 sticks) (melted)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy whippping cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
6 eggs (lightly beaten)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 9-inch pie shells

Preparation:
1. Boil potatoes until completely done. Allow to cool
then peel and mash using potato masher. You can also
"mash" them using a blender or food processor. Just do
a little at a time if you don't have heavy-duty applicances.
Otherwise, you're likely to burn out a motor. You want
the potatoes well-done because this allows you to mash
them easier, and you don't end up with a lot of lumps in
your mixture.

2. In another mixing bowl combine sugar, salt and baking
powder.
3. Slowly stir in mashed potatoes.
4. Stir in butter.
5. Add whipping cream, lemon juice, vanilla flavoring,
and nutmeg, one at at a time... mixing thoroughly after
adding each ingredient.
6. Stir in eggs.
7. Pour 1/2 of mixture into each pie shell.
8. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Test for doneness with toothpick. Toothpick inserted
into center of pie should come out clean.
