Emma Retro dining with this deviled eggs recipe
Normally served at a party or as a side dish, deviled eggs are a secret indulgence of mine. When I’m wanting a grown-up mashed-up egg in a cup! They get their devil name due to being spiced with mustard traditionally. These are a little more spicey with the addition of some tabasco sauce.
Perfect for holiday snacking, Christmas get-togethers, wine nights or just because you like a spicy egg.

Instructions
In a saucepan with eggs, bring your water to a boil. Let the water boil for a minute and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the saucepan for 10 mins.
Remove from the hot water and place into cold water.
Peel the eggs, then halve the eggs lengthways and gently prise the yolk out of each half. Place the whites onto a plate and place the yolks into a bowl.
Into the bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, English mustard, salt, paprika and a couple of shakes of Tabasco. Stir and mash with a fork or blend until smooth.
Taste for seasoning and heat, add more mustard or Tabasco.
