Deviled Eggs

12ealarge eggs
½C mayonnaise
T mustard
   Salt
   pepper
   Paprika

Place eggs in a saucepan with water to cover plus 1 inch. On medium-high heat, bring the eggs to a low boil. After 15 minutes from the time they start to boil, remove the pan from the stove and run cold water directly on the eggs for a few minutes. Peel under cold running water, also. 

Halve the eggs lengthwise. Remove the yolks, place them in a small bowl, and mash them with a fork. Add mayonnaise and mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Spoon the mixture into the egg-white halves. Garnish each with a sprinkle of paprika, a parsley sprig, or as desired and voila! The Deviled Eggs Recipe come to life.  

Varations: try one of these options: Substitute sour cream for the mayonnaise. Substitute mustard with Dijon mustard or spicy brown mustard. Add one of the following to the filling: 

2eafinely chopped green onions
2T minced parsley
1T chopped chives
½C chopped shrimp, crab, or salmon
3T crumbled blue cheese
½C chopped olives
½C shredded cheddar cheese.
