HOW TO SERVE DEVILED EGGS WITHOUT AN EGG PLATE RECIPES

Steps:

• Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Pop out yolks and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork and then add mayonnaise, mustard, and salt. Mix until smooth. To achieve maximum smoothness, blitz the yolk mixture a few times with an immersion blender. If you are planning to use a pastry bag and piping tip to add the yolk mixture to the egg whites, it helps to get the yolk mixture nice and smooth.Divide the yolk mixture evenly between the egg white halves. Garnish as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.Note: See the Food & Friends section of The Pioneer Woman for a method for hard-boiling eggs that yields the best results!

Steps:

• Gently place eggs in a medium saucepan and fill with water one inch above eggs. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once the water has come to a boil, cover the saucepan and remove from the heat. Set a timer for 6 minutes.
• Fill a medium bowl with ice and water. When the time goes off, remove the eggs from the saucepan and place in the ice bath. Set a timer for 8 minutes.
• While the eggs are cooking and cooling, fry 2-3 slices of bacon in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 3 minutes each side and transfer to a paper towel. Once cool enough to handle, crush each piece of bacon into small pieces.
• When the ice bath timer goes off, gently peel the eggs* and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice lengthwise and place the yolks in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg whites face up on a tray or plate.
• Add the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, salt and chili powder to the bowl with the yolk and mash with the back of a fork. Mix until well combined.
• Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the avocado yolk mixture into each egg white until all are full. Sprinkle the bacon pieces and chives on top and serve.
