Blue Smoke Deviled Eggs

Directions

1. 1
   Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. 2
   Reduce the heat, and simmer for exactly 9 minutes.
3. 3
   Pour off most of the water and immediately run cold water over the eggs.
4. 4
   Crack the eggshells, roll each egg between your palms and peel under running water.
5. 5
   Cut a small sliver off both ends of each egg (so they'll sit without wobbling) and halve them crosswise, forming round cups.
6. 6
   Remove the yolks, and mix with the mayonnaise through curry powder with a rubber spatula until smooth.
7. 7
   Season to taste with salt and pepper.
8. 8
   Mound the yolk mixture into the egg whites.
9. 9
   (For fancier eggs, spoon the yolk mixture into a pastry bag with a star tip, and pipe the mixture into the egg whites to form rosettes).
10. 10
    Refrigerate until served.
