HOW TO MAKE HARD BOILED EGGS
There are many different ways to cook a hard boiled egg. A few years ago, my mom gave me a Cuisinart Egg Cooker for Christmas. This is hands down my favorite way to cook hard boiled eggs. It will also make hard, medium or soft consistency eggs. You can even poach an egg or cook an omelet.
To make the eggs, you take a small pin that is on the bottom of the measuring cup that comes with the cooker and poke each egg. I know it sounds like it could be a mess, but it really is super easy. It creates a tiny bit of air between the shell and the egg membrane. This method actually steams the eggs, as opposed to boiling.
There are so many methods to make eggs easy to peel, but I haven’t found any way that is as fool proof as this method. I promise, they peel perfectly EVERY time.

HOW MANY DEVILED EGGS SHOULD YOU SERVE
For years I fought my husband and son from eating all eggs before the holiday dinner. Finally, a couple years ago, I just stopped fighting.
Now I make a double batch and use one platter as an appetizer while everyone is milling around waiting for dinner to be served and one for the actually dinner.
Another recipe I serve at almost every holiday is my Broccoli Cauliflower Salad with Bacon.
DEVILED EGG VARIATIONS
Yes, we really like traditional style deviled eggs, but it is fun to change them up. Try using, bacon, jalapenos, avocado, hot sauce, basil or even lemon juice. You’ll be surprised how you can change the flavor with just a little ingredient addition.
