Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Hungarian Paprika
  • 2 Drops of Tabasco Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced capers
  • 1 Tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons minced chives

Directions
  1. Place eggs in a medium saucepan in a single layer and add enough cold water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  2. Simmer for 9 minutes, then carefully drain eggs, running under cold water until cool enough to handle. Let cool in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  3. Crack and peel each hard-cooked egg. With a sharp knife, slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out yolks and place in a medium mixing bowl; reserve empty egg halves on a serving tray. Once all eggs have been yolked, cover the whites and transfer the tray to the refrigerator.
  4. Mash yolks with a fork and add mayonnaise, paprika, Tabasco, mustard, capers, and tarragon. Mix thoroughly with a fork until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Remove egg white halves from the refrigerator and fill each with 1
  6. heaping teaspoon of yolk mixture, rounding the tops with a spoon.
  7. Garnish each with a sprinkling of minced chives and serve.

I am a deviled egg fanatic, Oh Annie the tarragon and capers put these over the top. I was a fan of Horseradish Deviled Eggs myself, but these..Oh My
Marky


Marky,

I know, my mum use to make them for every holiday imaginable, when I was a child. I wish I had her recipe, she was heavy handed with the paprika and used some ingredient I never seen her put in, which was her secret...

I have never had Horseradish Deviled eggs, but I have had and made Wasabi Deviled Eggs, with Wasabi
roe on top or each; my Wee One loves them like that.

Be well,
Annie


These sound fantastic! I just made deviled eggs this Saturday. Next time I'm doing this.

You can always add more capers, I have done them with a one to one and a half tablespoons.

The Tarragon leaves I have added two or three tablespoons. It really depends on how you and your guest prefer them, some like more, some like less.

I have to purchase my Capers at Costco... Does that tell you anything? Ha, ha, ha

Be well,
Annie
