Angel Eggs
I call these "Angel Eggs" because they are soooo heavenly!
The Cast of Characters:
9 large eggs
2 Tblsp. mustard
4 heaping Tblsp. mayonnaise
3 Tblsp. sweet pickle relish
1/4 tsp. salt
Place the eggs in a large pan and cover with cold water. Cook over medium
heat and boil about 20 minutes. Lift one egg out on a slotted spoon and
remove from heat. If the water on the egg dries immediately, the eggs
are done and will peel easily. If not, return the egg to the pan to cook a
little longer. When eggs are done, remove from heat. Drain hot water from
pan. Fill pan with cold water and let the eggs sit awhile until cool enough
to handle.
Peel shells from eggs. Rinse eggs and pat dry with a paper towel.
Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a medium size bowl.
Set whites aside. Mash yolks with a fork. You could use a mixer, but I am
lazy. Plus it is HOT in the South! Using a mixer will raise the air
temperature.
Add the mayo, mustard, salt, and sweet pickle relish. Stir until well blended.
Now for the fun part! Cut a corner off of a Ziploc bag and insert a large metal
decorative icing tip. Fill the bag with the yolk mixture and pipe into the egg
white "shells." Sprinkle with paprika and arrange on an egg platter. There
were 18 egg halves, but there were only 15 slots on my platter. I tried placing
them in the middle of the tray, but they looked so lonely. So I was forced to
eat them. Oh, Yum! They really are heavenly! The middle of the tray still
looked empty and my artistic background would not let it remain in that
state. I searched the fridge and found oranges. So I peeled and arranged
sections to fill the space. Not my first choice, but it will just have to do!
Now I am off with my angel eggs and lemon ice box pie to Georgia's house
for a barbecue and pool party!
