Devilish Eggs With Cheddar Chipotle And Chives Recipes

DEVILED EGGS WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• Place eggs in large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover by 1-inch. Cover the pan and bring just to a boil. Remove pan from heat and let eggs stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Remove eggs to bowl of cold water and let cool, about 15 minutes. Peel eggs, cut in half lengthwise and remove the yolks to a bowl. Set aside the whites.
• Use a fork to mash the yolks with the remaining ingredients. Mound the yolk mixture back into the hollow of the egg whites, spooning about 1 tablespoons in each half-egg. Sprinkle with reserved chives and serve.

CHIPOTLE-DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Press the yolks through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, jalapenos, chipotle in adobo, Southwest Essence, and salt to taste. Stir to blend well. Spoon (or pipe with a pastry bag) the mixture into the egg whites. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with the paprika just before serving. (If the paprika is added too early it will stain the eggs.)
• Emeril's Southwest Seasoning:
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

CHILE-CHEDDAR DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Mash 6 hard-boiled egg yolks, 2 teaspoons chopped chives, 2 teaspoons chopped chipotles in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Season with salt. Spoon into the egg whites; top with more chives.

DEVILISH EGGS WITH CHEDDAR, CHIPOTLE, AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes; then drain and immediately plunge the eggs into an ice bath to cool.
• Peel the eggs, slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out the yolks. Put the whites on a platter. Pass the yolks through a sieve into a medium bowl, or just mash with a fork. Mix in the cheese, mayo, sour cream, chives (reserving 1 teaspoon for garnish), chipotles, paprika, and salt.
• Use a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip to pipe the filling into the whites, or, if you're less fancy, use 2 spoons. Sprinkle with the reserved chives. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving, which should be within a day.
