Every good cook has her pet way of making stuffed or deviled eggs, but everyone agrees that appearance has much to do with their appeal. We find in our Countryside Kitchens that putting the mashed and seasoned yolks through a pastry bag with a large star tube gives the eggs a professional look. And it’s quicker to stuff the egg whites that way than with a spoon. Running the cooked yolks through a food mill assures satiny smoothness.
For a welcome surprise put a small cube of ham or cheese or tiny olive in the whites before adding the filling. Another favorite of Farm Journal’s food staff is to fix hard-cooked yolks by seasoning with 3 tblsp. soft butter (for 6 yolks), 2 tblsp. mayonnaise, 1 tsp. vinegar, salt and pepper.
