PESTO-FILLED DEVILED EGGS
Deviled eggs may be old fashioned, but I will always have a weakness for them. I'm always experimenting with fillings for these perfect little protein packages. Pesto, mixed with half of the hard-cooked yolks, is pungent and rich. I particularly like the basil-mint version. Serve these as an hors d'oeuvre or as part of a light lunch.

Steps:
- To hard-cook eggs, place in a saucepan, fill with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. As soon as water is at a roll, cover tightly and turn off heat. Let stand for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a bowl with ice water. Transfer hard-cooked eggs to ice water and leave until completely cooled. Peel off shells and cut eggs in half lengthwise.
- Remove yolks from eggs. Set aside 3 of them for another use (or discard) and mash the other 3 together with the pesto, either in a mortar and pestle or in a food processor. Pipe, scoop or spoon into the egg whites.
- If desired, season exposed egg whites with salt and pepper. Arrange on a plate or small platter and serve.

[email protected]These eggs were delicious! I used a store-bought pesto, but I'm sure it would be even better with homemade. I also added a little bit of chopped bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
