How to make perfect curried deviled eggs

How to make perfect curried deviled eggs. Deviled eggs are easy to make. All the ingredients are in the fridge or pantry and you can vary the filling ingredients infinitely, as long as mayonnaise is included. Because the eggs and their piquant fillings are substantial, they used to be cocktail party standbys. This filling is seasoned with curry powder and has lots of red-onion crunch.

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs, hard-cooked
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 11/2 teaspoons curry powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
• Finely chopped scallions or chives

Procedure on how to make perfect curried deviled eggs:

1. Peel the eggs and slice them horizontally.
2. Carefully remove the yolks and set them in a small bowl. Cut a tiny slice from the rounded ends of the whites so that they sit flat on a platter.
3. With a fork, mash the yolks with the onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add more mayonnaise or lemon juice, if you like.
5. When the mixture is thoroughly blended, spoon the yolk mixture into the shells, mounding it slightly.
6. Sprinkle the tops with the finely chopped scallions or chives and serve.

Note: To make in advance, arrange the eggs on a platter, cover them with wax paper and a damp paper towel, and refrigerate; they will stay moist for half a day. Garnish with scallions or chives before serving.
