ITALIAN DEVILED EGGS WITH GARLIC AND BASIL

Steps:

• Place eggs in a heavy-bottomed pot and cover with cool water by 1 to 2 inches. Vent lid and bring just to a boil. Cover pot completely, lower heat, and simmer for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let stand for 10 minutes before peeling under cool running water. Slice eggs in half lengthwise.
• Gently scoop yolks into a bowl. Set egg whites aside. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, mix in mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in fresh basil and season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice, if desired.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, warm remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Add bread crumbs and stir to combine, until crumbs are lightly toasted. Transfer to a bowl and season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Let cool. Stir in Parmigiano Reggiano and lemon zest.
• Fill egg white halves with garlic-basil yolk mixture. Sprinkle each egg with breadcrumbs just before serving and serve soon after assembling.

THE BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

SMOKY GRILLED DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

Add the mayonnaise, mustard, adobo sauce and paprika and stir together until completely combined; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Lightly brush the egg whites on the cut sides with mayonnaise. Put the eggs cut-side down in a grill basket; close and secure the basket. Place the basket directly over the hot coals and cook until grill marks appear on the egg whites, 30 seconds to a minute. Transfer the whites to a serving plate and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, pipe some of the yolk mixture into each egg white and dust with a little paprika.
