In my quest to get healthy, I’m trying to find all of the best foods and snacks to replace my previous ones. One of the foods I turned to were eggs. They’re nutritious and they’re filling. I didn’t just want any egg though. Pete and Gerry’s Organic Free-Range Eggs are supplied by small family farmers. They actually talk about the farmers on their website which I thought felt very personal! Organic and Certified Humane®, these healthy hens are allowed to roam free and happy. It should matter to all of us how these animals are being treated and what kinds of chemicals could be going into their bodies. That’s what it really means to watch what you eat.
Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs have what I’m looking for as far as organic and humane, but how do they taste? Well, they’re certainly yummy all on their own but I decided to put them to the test with one of my favorite snacks. One of the best memories I have of my wonderful mommy is when we got on our regular daily phone call and I mentioned a craving for her deviled eggs. The next day, I stopped by her house and she had an entire tray of them all made up for me. Her deviled eggs have been a great treat since I was little but this sentimental moment just doubled the value for me.
So bare with me, readers, as I try to convert my mom’s “now just put a couple of heaping spoons” and “add just enough” into actual measurements to try to recreate my mama’s deviled eggs for you. As I say with all of my recipes, keep in mind that you can modify this in any way you like. Go spicier with a touch of Tabasco or I’ve even thought about trying dill relish as a big fan of dill pickles!
I actually wanted to bring you this recipe last month in honor of National Egg Month but my dreadful oven finally died so I was without any oven at all for a while. I could have shared a simple but wonderful microwavable scrambled eggs recipe but I was really excited to share this one. If enough people are curious about my easy peasy scrambled eggs (it frees up the stove for the rest of your breakfast dishes!), I’ll share that one soon too. If you know me, I like to keep my recipes pretty easy because there shouldn’t be a thousand steps keeping you from that delectable meal!
Here’s what you’ll need for our deviled eggs:
A dozen extra large Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs
4 heaping spoons of relish
4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
1 tsp of spicy mustard
Salt
Pepper
Directions:
1. Place eggs in a pot, then fill it with cool water. Bringing the temperature of the eggs and water up together helps to cook them evenly and prevent cracking.
2. Boil for 7 minutes. Add a tablespoon of baking soda while boiling for easier peeling.
3. As soon as they’re finished boiling, place into an ice bath.
4. Peel the Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs and slice them in half. Drop the yolks into a bowl.
5. Scoop the relish into a paper towel and squeeze out the juice. Then, put the relish into the bowl with the yolks.
6. Add the mayonnaise. You want just enough mayonnaise so that the texture is wet and creamy but not runny.
7. Mix in the spicy mustard, plus salt and pepper to taste.
8. After mixing everything together, scoop it back into the eggs. Bonus points if you have the little cookie press that has the flower tip on the end to make your deviled eggs pretty!
