Grandma's Deviled Eggs

This classic recipe is a staple in any kosher buffet. Since it is parve (neither meat nor dairy under kosher guidelines) it can be added to any snack array or appetizer plate you may be making for when company is coming over.
I love this recipe because it tastes delicious. However, it's also really easy to make. I mean, you cannot boil eggs wrong. Even if you crack a few, as long as they stay in boiling water long enough, you can still salvage them.
There is little to no waste with this recipe, too. The only thing you can't eat are the eggs shells after you peel them. If you can compost them, then you've got a zero-waste recipe. How nice. This quick and easy recipe is easy to scale and yields impressive, tasty treats.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs large or extra large
  • 2 heaping tbsp Miracle Whip substitute mayonnaise if you'd like
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp mustard yellow or brown
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • paprika to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place eggs in a medium sized pan or dutch oven.
  • Cover them by at least ½ inch with cold water.
  • Place the pan on the stove and heat on high until the water comes to a boil. When the water comes to a full boil, cover the pot, turn the heat off and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes for a hard boil.
  • Fill a bowl with ice water, enough to cover the eggs.
  • Use a strainer to move the eggs from the pot into the ice bath. Let eggs rest in the ice bath for about 10 minutes or until they are cool enough to handle easily
  • Peel the eggs and cut them lengthwise.
  • Remove the yolks and place then in in a bowl with the mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and salt. Mix thoroughly with a fork.
  • Spoon the yolk mixture back into the eggs. If you want to be fancy, use a pastry bag with a decorative tip.
  • Sprinkle with paprika to taste.
