Ovos recheados de Halloween

Ingredientes

• 12 large hard boiled eggs1 (halved and yolks removed)
• 1/4 cup (52g) mayonnaise
• 3 teaspoons (15g) mustard2
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• paprika
• fresh chives

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Place the cooked egg halves on a large baking sheet or plate and set aside.

2. 2

   In a medium size bowl, mash the cooked yolks of the hard boiled eggs with a fork (or with a mixer if you want a completely smooth egg yolk mixture).

3. 3

   To the mashed yolks, add the mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. Continue mixing until everything is combined. Depending on the moistness of your yolks and/or your preferred deviled egg filling texture, you may want or need to add some liquid3 to thin it out.

4. 4

   If desired, add a few drops of red or orange food coloring to the egg yolk filling to make it orange.

5. 5

   When you are satisfied with the texture and color of the filling, fill each egg half with a rounded mound of filling. I prefer to do this with a pastry bag or a zip top bag with the end snipped off.

6. 6

   When all of the eggs are filled, add a sprinkle of paprika, a tiny piece of chive, and make indentations (if desired) with a sharp knife so the filling resembles a pumpkin. Serve immediately. Store leftovers covered tightly in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
