Eating Well’s Bedeviled Eggs

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Lightly tap each egg with the back of a spoon to make a hairline crack.
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a
simmer and cook over medium heat for 9 minutes. Start timing as soon as the
water begins to simmer.  Drain immediately and set the pan and eggs under
cold running water for 1 minute. Drain again and vigorously shake the eggs
in the pan to loosen the shells. Peel the eggs and slice in half
lengthwise.
Scoop out yolks, reserving 6 for another use.  Set aside the whites. In a
small bowl, mash the remaining 6 yolks. Mix in breadcrumbs, sour cream,
chives or scallions and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the
yolk mixture into the hollows in the egg whites and garnish with a
sprinkling of paprika. Arrange on a platter. (The eggs can be prepared
ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
