Learning the Basics with a Twist


Tonight I was teaching my son how to boil eggs and make Deviled Eggs; he loves them!  But, of course, as like any recipe that enters into our kitchen I had to hand out a little taste testing challenge and maybe, just maybe see if I could squeeze in a little hidden vegetable and pull it off!  The verdict.....success!  Here is what we did;

1.  Boiled six eggs.
2.  Peeled the eggs.
3.  Cut the eggs in half; length wise. 
4.  Removed the yolks.
5.  Mashed the yolks.
6.  Added to the yolks - 1 tablespoon mayo, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1 tablespoon of shredded or finely chopped carrots, 1/2 teaspoon of  cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to taste.
7. Refilled the egg whites.
8.  Taste Tested and Thumbs Up!
