Ingredients:
8 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or to taste
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or to taste
2 tablespoons drained capers coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Finely chopped fresh parsley, optional

Devilled Eggs With Capers
Sprinkled with parsley and sliced the "other" way, an old-fashioned favorite takes on a new guise. Be sure to pack these in a tightly sealed container in a cooler filled with ice.


1. Place eggs in a large pot of cold water over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook for 12 minutes. Drain, and let stand in cold water for a few minutes or just until cool enough to handle. Under cold, running water, crack and peel the eggs. Place eggs on paper towels to drain and cool.

2. Cut eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks. Place yolks in a bowl and mix with mustard, mayonnaise, capers, salt, and pepper. You will have about 1 cup filling.

3. Stuff the filling back into the eggs (or pipe in with a pastry bag) then place eggs "back together," letting some of the filling show all the way around, like a layer cake. Roll edges in parsley, if desired, and keep cold until ready to serve.
