DIJON DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, place eggs in single layer; add cold water until 1 inch above eggs. Cover and heat to boiling; turn off heat. If necessary, remove pan from heat to prevent further boiling. Cover and let stand 20 minutes. Immediately run cold water over eggs or place them in ice water until completely cooled. To remove shell, crackle it by tapping gently all over; roll between hands to loosen. Peel, starting at large end.
• Cut peeled eggs lengthwise in half. Scoop out egg yolks into small bowl; mash with fork. Stir in sour cream, mustard, onion and seasoned salt.
• Fill egg white halves with egg yolk mixture, heaping lightly. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.

BEST DEVILED EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low (or off) to ensure the water is no longer boiling or has bubbles and use a skimmer to place the eggs in the water. Then increase the heat back to high and set a timer for 14 minutes.
• While the eggs are boiling prepare an ice water bath and set aside. After 14 minutes, remove the eggs from the water and place in the ice water bath.
• Once the eggs have cooled completely, peel them and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the yolk to a small bowl with a spoon and place the egg whites on a plate.
• Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir everything together until it's smooth.
• Use a spoon to add a portion of the deviled egg mixture back into the hole of each egg white. Sprinkle on paprika for garnish.

CLASSIC DIJON MUSTARD

Steps:

• Prepare canner, jars & lids.
• Combine wine, vinegar, onion and garlic in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow aromatics to steep in the wine for 10 - 15 minutes.
• Strain vegetables from the infused wine, pressing on solids to release all the juice. Return wine to the saucepan and add salt, honey and Tabasco, if using. Over medium heat, whisk in the mustard powder; continue whisking and heating until the mustard comes to a boil. Stirring constantly, boil mustard until it reduces to your desired thickness, remembering that it will thicken further upon cooling (I cooked mine for about 10 minutes). Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Fill hot jars to a half-inch headspace, tamping down the mustard into the jar. Thoroughly remove bubbles by passing the clean handle of a wooden spoon along the edges and middle of the jar. Wipe rims, affix lids and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes in the hot water prior to removing from the canner.
• OPTIONS: If storing in the fridge, you may omit the vinegar and simply use 2 cups of wine. Dijon mustard is made with both red & white wines, so feel free to experiment with half red:half white wine, or maybe red wine vinegar with white wine.
