THE BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Gently drop the eggs in the water and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place directly into the ice bath to cool completely. Remove the shells and discard. Carefully cut the eggs in half lengthwise and separate the whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in a bowl, and mash with a fork until broken up. Add the mayonnaise, pickle juice, mustard, hot sauce, paprika and some salt, and mix until smooth. Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag, and then fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Garnish with the chopped pickles and a pinch of paprika.
