  • 1 tablespoon finely minced onion or shallot
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 dashes of Tabasco sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • paprika to garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the eggs until the yolks are hard using one of the three methods below. Immediately cool the eggs in cold water.

Boil & Steam Hard-Boiled Eggs Method

  • Let the eggs come to room temperature by resting on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Place the eggs in a single row in a saucepan and cover with enough water for the eggs to be submerged.
  • Place the pot onto the stove and heat over high heat until the water begins to boil.
  • Boil the eggs for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  • Cover the pot and let the eggs steam for 17 minutes until they are cooked through.
  • Immediately cool the eggs by gently dumping the hot water and pouring cold water into the pot.

Rolling Boil Hard-Boiled Eggs Method

  • Bring eggs to room temperature by allowing them to rest on the counter for 15 minutes.
  • Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Make sure you have enough water to cover the eggs in the pot.
  • Gently lower the eggs into the pot with a spoon, being careful not to drop them for they will crack.
  • Boil the eggs for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and let the eggs sit/simmer for 1 minute.
  • Gently pour out the hot water and add cold water to the pot to cool the eggs.

Pressure Cooker Hard-Cooked Eggs Method

  • Place the rack in the bottom of your Instant Pot.
  • Add 1 cup of water to the pot.
  • Place the eggs on the rack. Close the lid and set the pressure release to
  • Set the Instant Pot to manual for 5 minutes.
  • Allow for natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then place a towel over the valve to quickly release the remaining pressure and carefully remove the eggs from the pot.
  • Place the eggs in a bowl and run cold water over the eggs to cool.

Make Filling and Pipe Into Egg Whites

  • Peel the eggs.  Slice the eggs in half and remove the yolk into a separate bowl.  Mash the yolk with a fork until crumbled.  Add mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, onions, tabasco and mix with a fork until you get your desired creamy consistency.  You can add a touch more mayo until you reach your desired creaminess. Taste the filling and add more salt, pepper or tabasco as desired.
  • You can either spoon the mixture into the egg whites or for a prettier presentation, you can pipe the mixture into the egg whites using a plastic bag.  Simply spoon the mixture into a sandwich size plastic bag.
  • Clip the corner of the bag about 1/4 inch and slowly pipe the filling into the center of the egg white until it's filled to your liking.  Repeat until all eggs are filled.
