Cook Time: 1 minute
Chilling time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours, 16 minutes
Yield: 8-10 servings
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup honey mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Place eggs in large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil eggs for 1 minute, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12 minutes.
Place saucepan in sink and run cold water over the eggs for 3-4 minutes until they are cool. Then gently tap the eggs against the side of the pan while still under the water to crack the shells. Let stand for 4 minutes, then peel the eggs.
Carefully cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the yolks, and place the yolks in a small bowl. Using the back of a spoon, mash each of the yolks, adding a spoonful of the mayonnaise, until mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the rest of the mayonnaise and then the honey mustard, beating until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Fill the whites with the egg yolk mixture, cover, and chill for 2-3 hours before serving. Serves 8-10
