How To Make Deviled Eggs With Lemon

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Italian parsley
• 1 dozen eggs, large
• 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons olive oil

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Begin by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Once it reaches a boiling point, turn off the flame and cover the pot with a lid. Let the eggs sit aside for twenty minutes to complete the hard-boiling process.

Step 2

After the eggs have cooled, peel off and discard all of the eggshells. Take three of the hard-boiled eggs and remove the yolks, discarding the whites. For the remaining hard-boiled eggs, carefully slice them lengthwise and gently remove the yolks.

Step 3

Put all the yolks in a bowl. Finely chop some parsley and add it along with the other ingredients to the egg yolks. Use a fork to thoroughly combine everything until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency. If needed, add olive oil for a smoother texture, and taste the mixture for seasoning, adjusting as desired.

Step 4

Now, transfer the egg yolk mixture to a plastic bag, maneuvering it to one corner of the bag. Twist the excess part of the bag to push the yolks down to the corner.

Step 5

Using scissors, snip a small opening in the corner of the plastic bag. Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture by gently squeezing the bag.

Step 6

To add a final touch, garnish the deviled eggs with finely chopped scallions or parsley.

Step 7

Enjoy these delicious deviled eggs, a delightful treat perfect for any occasion!
