Nanas Deviled Eggs

Try this favorite picnic recipe using the classic mustard and egg yolk filling, but instead of halving the eggs, fill whole eggs and stand them on end. Of course, if you prefer, you can halve the eggs and fill them the traditional way.

Devilish Eggs

From Fine Cooking Books

These deviled eggs have an indulgent filling boldly flavored with all the classic tongue-tingling tastes: mustard, hot sauce, and a spike of horseradish. They are garnished old-school style with a sprinkle of paprika, giving you everything you expect from traditional deviled eggs. The only unexpected thing is that these are good for you, thanks to my secret ingredient, silken tofu, which is so creamy and rich it lets you use less egg yolk and mayonnaise. Don't tell your guests and they'll never know. Just ask my husband, a self-proclaimed deviled egg connoisseur, who couldn't stop eating them.

From Fine Cooking Books
