Tuna Fish Deviled Eggs
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickles or relish
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
- Add the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill pickles or relish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill the Egg Whites:
- Spoon the tuna mixture into the egg white halves. Alternatively, you can pipe the mixture for a neater presentation by placing the filling in a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with a corner snipped off.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle a bit of paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color.
- Garnish with fresh dill or parsley if desired.
- Arrange the deviled eggs on a serving platter and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- For a bit of extra flavor, you can add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture.
- Make sure the eggs are completely cooled in the ice water bath to make peeling easier.
- You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge, then fill the egg whites just before serving to keep them fresh.
