REC: Chipotle Deviled Eggs

PREPARATION: With a needle or a clean thumb tack, pierce the large end
of each egg to a depth of 3/8 inch. This helps center the yolk.

I've never heard of this technique (for keeping the yolk in the
center of the egg when hard boiling). Of course I haven't really
worried about it either ;-) If I was catering deviled eggs, then
maybe...

I've got a little gadget designed for the purpose. You sit the egg on it
and push and a little pin projects just enough to puncture the shell.
Stops the shell cracking during cooking.

Now _that_ I've seen. I thought it was for making decorative
eggs (sucking out the guts).

And here I was thinking I couldn't learn anything new here since
I already know everything.

I learn something new every day. Unfortunately, most of it is worthless.

Recipe: Chipotle Deviled Eggs

10 large eggs

1/4 cup finely minced onion

1/4 cup finely minced ham

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon chipotle pepper powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground

1/2 teaspoon salt

PREPARATION: With a needle or a clean thumb tack, pierce the large end
of each egg to a depth of 3/8 inch. This helps center the yolk. Place
eggs carefully in a large kettle with at least 2 quarts cold water.
Bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat. Remove the kettle from
the heat, cover and let stand 18 minutes.

Mince onions and ham very finely while the eggs are steeping. After 18
minutes, rinse eggs with cold water and peel. Slice eggs in half
lengthwise and carefully remove the yolk. In a small bowl, combine
onion, ham, mustard, mayonnaise, chipotle powder, pepper and salt with
6 of the egg yolks (discard the other four or save for a salad). Blend
with a fork. Form mix into a round ball using a measuring teaspoon or
a melon-baller and place into egg halves. A little slice off the
bottom of the eggs before filling will help keep them upright. When
the eggs are finished, sprinkle with a little extra chipotle pepper
powder.

Makes 20 deviled eggs.

Sounds good and easy enough. I need to get some chipotle pepper powder.
