My dad always made deviled eggs this way when I was growing up. I swear, for more than a couple decades, I thought EVERYONE made them this way, that there WAS no other recipe! Yes, I can be pretty dense at times. Deviled eggs is a dish I just can't do by measuring ingredients. Sorry, but it's by look, consistency and taste.

Steps

30 mins

1

Peel the eggs and cut them in half long ways.
2

Pop the yolks out into a small mixing bowl and smash them up with a fork. Stir in a bit of salt, pepper and garlic pepper. Just a little; you can add more later.
3

Squirt in some mustard and stir to distribute.
4

Add some horseradish and stir. Again, go easy. You can add more, if necessary, after the next step.
5

Now add the mayonnaise and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Unfortunately, in case you're looking at the photos for approximate amounts to use, I didn't follow my own advice, and I put in too much mayo. The mixture was too loose when I stirred it up. (It was late, I was tired.). So I had to boil more eggs and add those yolks to the mix. Don't repeat my mistake. It's a drag.
6

Taste for seasoning. Add more seasoning and/or horseradish, a little at a time, to your own preference.
7

Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites and sprinkle with minced chives. I also like to top them with black olive halves, but I had none on hand. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
