Cooking Notes
We prefer real mayonnaise, but if you are accustomed to the taste of reduced-fat, feel free to use it.
Deviled Eggs
8 large eggs
5 tablespoons mayonnaise*
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Paprika, for garnish, to taste
Place eggs in a 2-quart or larger saucepan and add cold tap water just to cover them. Place pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, cover, and let stand 15 minutes or up to an hour.
Peel eggs, and cut in half lengthwise. Remove egg yolks and put into the work bowl of a food processor. Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and black pepper. Process until smooth, about 30 seconds, stopping once to scrape down bowl. Add salt to taste.
Spoon filling into egg whites. Use a rubber spatula to remove all filling from work bowl. Dust lightly with paprika. Serve at once, or refrigerate, covered, up to 24 hours.

What you're saying..
I have been a fan of yours for a long time. When I changed careers from teaching to banking, (with an hour-long commute one way), I knew I had to do something to get supper on the table quick. I picked up a copy of Desperation Dinners! over 10 years ago, and it is still one of my most used cookbooks.
