Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, salad dressing or half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps

  • 1
    In 2-quart saucepan, place eggs in single layer; add enough water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Heat to boiling. Immediately remove from heat; cover and let stand 15 minutes. Drain water from eggs; rinse eggs with cold water. Place eggs in bowl of ice water; let stand 10 minutes.
  • 2
    To remove egg shells, crackle shells by tapping gently all over; roll between hands to loosen. Peel, starting at large end. Cut lengthwise in half. (For a different twist, eggs can be cut crosswise in half. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each egg so it will stand up without falling over.) Transfer yolks to small bowl; mash with fork. Set egg whites aside.
  • 3
    Stir mayonnaise, parsley, horseradish, mustard, salt and pepper into yolks. Fill whites with egg yolk mixture, heaping it lightly. (Use a teaspoon to fill the egg whites and to spread the yolk mixture easily and neatly into the whites.) Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.

  • Why it Works: No Green Eggs Here Hard-cooked eggs become tough and tinged with green when exposed to heat for too long. The more egg proteins are heated, the more water they lose. After too much heat (usually anything more than 20 minutes) the eggs turn rubbery, and a sulfur compound and the iron in the yolk react to make an unsightly green ring. You can avoid these problems by cooking the eggs only as long as necessary and stopping the cooking by plunging the cooked eggs into ice water. To avoid the green color, use recently purchased eggs; they do not react as easily.
