How to Make Deviled Eggs

1. Take the boiled and peeled eggs, and slice them lengthwise and let the yolk fall in a bowl. Put all the yolks together in a bowl, and your whites halves on a platter.
2. Mash the yolks with a fork, add a little mayo, add a tiny squirt of mustard, add a smidgen of sugar, and it you want, add some pickle relish. Stir it all up.
3. Fill the egg white by picking each one up and holding it, while using a teaspoon to put the filling in, then set it back down and do another, until they're all done.
4. Some people sprinkle a little paprika on top. Gee, this is making me hungry.

How to Boil Eggs

1. Take a small pan, put your eggs in, fill with water to cover.
2. Bring to a soft boil, then turn down to simmer for 15 minutes.
3. Take off the heat, run pan under cold water, to cool the eggs quickly.
4. Take each one out one by one and crack the shells and peel ASAP.

Tap them on the kitchen counter. It is this "heat to quick cooling," that causes the egg inside to contract, making the eggs very easy to peel.
