LEMON CAPER DEVILED EGGS
I love deviled eggs. Love. I always say, "It's not a party at my house without deviled eggs." It's hard to beat the classic rendition, but every now and then I'll mix things up. I came up with this recipe for a dinner I cooked at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, where I topped them with fried oysters. They're obviously delicious that way (anything fried, am I right?), but I like them just as well without the garnish. I've made them with lemon and capers so many times now, I have almost forgotten what they taste like plain!

Steps:
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. With a ladle, slowly lower the eggs into the water, one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain. When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Arrange the whites, cut-side up, on a serving platter. Blitz the egg yolks by themselves for about 10 seconds. To the yolks, add the mayo, mustard, capers, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Process until well blended and smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, then use scissors to snip off the tip of one of the bottom corners to form a small hole. Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites or store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately in the fridge until ready to fill and serve, one to two days. Garnish the filled eggs with paprika and parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Kathy's Note: Deviled eggs are such fun picnic food. The trick is making them ahead of time and figuring out a safe, secure way to transport them. You can pack them tightly in a covered shallow plastic container (use paper towels rolled into cigar shapes to create a buffer if there's room in the container and they are going to move around) These deviled eggs have a little makeover. I stuff the bottom of the cooked whites with a few surprises: cucumber, fresh herbs, and lemon. Then I top the fillings with a creamy egg mixture, so that each bite reveals a burst of flavor inside. Place the eggs on top of a bed of arugula, baby watercress or pea greens. Once you get the hang of these devilled egg surprises, you can create your own flavors; see below for some ideas to get you started. [sidebar title="Egg Tips: Hard Boiled and Cracking Secrets"] Place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan. Add cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. When the water boils, cover the pan tightly, reduce the heat to low and cook 4 minutes. Remove the pan off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes. Drain the water you cooked the eggs in out of the saucepan, keeping the eggs in the pan. Shake the pan back and forth and up and down a few times, so that the egg shells crack just a little. Then fill the pan with cold water; the water will seep into the cracks in the shells and separate the eggs from the shells, making them easier to peel once they've cooled.[/sidebar] Serves 8 to 12. Ingredients: 12 hard-boiled eggs (see below), peeled 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 cup cucumber, peeled and finely chopped 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions 1 tablespoon fresh minced chives Instructions: Using a small, sharp knife, cut each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place in a small bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, and add the mayonnaise, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Place a tiny bit of the cucumber, lemon juice, scallions and chives into the bottom of the egg whites. Add the remaining cucumber, lemon juice, scallions and chives into the egg yolk mixture and gently stir. Fill each egg half with a spoonful of the yolk mixture. Favorite Variations: Substitute 1 cup of any of the following for the cucumber-lemon-scallion-chive mixture above and proceed with the recipe: Thin slices of pitted green and/or black olives Chopped roasted red pepper Crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese with scallions Cooked crumbled bacon and scallions Chopped smoked salmon (or bluefish) with fresh dill and grated lemon zest
Tips:
- Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will not peel as easily and the whites may be more rubbery.
- To make peeling the eggs easier, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rapid boil, then remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, then drain and rinse them with cold water.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half. This will help prevent the yolks from breaking.
- Scoop out the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the yolks and mix until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a little mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika or chopped herbs.
- Serve the deviled eggs immediately or chill them for later.
Conclusion:
Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, you can create a deviled egg platter that will please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give deviled eggs a try.
