Steps:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
- Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
- Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

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:
- Spoon yolks from egg halves into small bowl; mash yolks to smooth paste. Add sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice and mustard; blend well. Mix in green onion, capers and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon yolk mixture back into whites, mounding in center. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)
Tips:
- Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will have a less flavorful yolk.
- Hard-boil the eggs perfectly. Overcooked eggs will have a dry, chalky yolk, while undercooked eggs will be runny and unsafe to eat.
- Chill the eggs thoroughly before peeling them. This will make them easier to peel and prevent the yolk from breaking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half. A dull knife will crush the eggs and make them difficult to stuff.
- Be creative with your fillings. You can use anything from classic mayonnaise and mustard to more adventurous ingredients like avocado, bacon, or smoked salmon.
- Garnish the eggs with fresh herbs or spices. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Deviled eggs are a classic party appetizer that is always a hit. They are easy to make, can be made ahead of time, and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a deviled egg platter that will impress your guests.
