Ingredients:
1 dozen eggs, hard boiled
1/2 cup mayonnaise ( not Miracle Whip)
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
paprika, for garnish
Directions:
Peel the eggs (I usually do it under running water, for ease) and slice them in half lengthwise.
Slip the yolks out and place them in a small bowl; break up the yolks by pressing them through a fork.
Add the mayo, dried minced onion, curry, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste, and moosh around with the fork until it’s all mixed/creamed together well (if you like, you can use an electric mixer-it’s up to you); you can add a little mayo to get the texture you prefer.
Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture and sprinkle each half with a little paprika; set them on the serving plate.
If you can chill them for at least 30 minutes before serving, that’s great- otherwise, put’em on the table and step back quickly before you’re run over by your guests.
A note re the dried minced onion: I use this ingredient in a lot of recipes because of the texture and taste; I like the way they add a tiny bit of crunch and a wonderful flavor to the eggs.
Sometimes I add some chili powder, Tabasco, or jalapeno for a little kick, depending on the guests I’m making them for.
