What to do with all of those easter eggs....

Though I may be 25, I am not to old to dye Easter eggs. I have been doing it for as long as I can remember...so why stop now? I boiled, dyed and decorated my eggs and was happy with an Easter morning well spent. It did leave me with one dilemma...what to do with all of those hard boiled eggs? All they really need is a dash of salt and they are great by themselves, but where is the fun in that?

So being a true southern girl, I deviled them.

Since I always spend Easter with my mother I brought the eggs to her house to devil. Unfortunately for this blog, my mother is a southern cook and does not believe in things like measuring cups...so just bear with me on that.

What you will need

1 dozen hard boiled eggs
2 Tbs yellow mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbs dill relish
dash of Cayenne pepper
Pepper to taste


Peel and rinse each boiled egg. Split the eggs length wise, remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl, and set the whites aside for filling. Mix the rest of the ingredients with the yolks until a creamy consistency is achieved. If your filling seems dry or chalky add more mayo. Do not add salt until the end, because the dill will add a lot of saltiness and you may not need any.

Fill each egg white with the yolk filling (you can use a pipping bag for a pretty filling, but I just use a spoon). Sprinkle Cayenne pepper over all of the filled eggs. Be careful while sprinkling the Cayenne. A heavy hand can make for very spicy eggs!
