Our Favorite Deviled Eggs

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!

   Slice each egg in half.

6. 6

   Gently scoop out the yolk and place in a medium bowl.
