Our Favorite Deviled Eggs

Directions

1. 1
   Bring a pot of water to a boil (I place the eggs in the water while it is still cold; I find that if I put cold eggs in boiling water, they are more likely to crack once they go in the hot water).
2. 2
   Boil the eggs for 10 - 15 minutes, or until how done you like your eggs.
3. 3
   Place the cooked eggs in a bowl with ice water to begin cooling them down.
4. 4
   Under cold running water, crack each egg all the way around and gently lift the shells and membrane off . . . get under the membrane for the easiest removal of the shell. This works like a dream each and every time!
5. 5
   Slice each egg in half.
6. 6
   Gently scoop out the yolk and place in a medium bowl.
7. 7
   Place the white portion of the eggs on a plate or egg platter.
8. 8
   Mash the yolks with a fork.
9. 9
   Add the mayo, mustard, vinegar, and melted butter, salt and pepper.
10. 10
    Whip with a fork until smooth.
11. 11
    Taste and make any adjustments that you prefer.
12. 12
    Spoon heaping amounts of this egg mixture into the cooked whites.
