Instructions

Hard Boiling the eggs

The easiest method of hard boiling eggs, is to steam them. To do this, fill a saucepan with 1 inch (2.5cm) of water and insert a steamer basket.
Bring the water to a boil and gently place 6 eggs in the steamer basket or directly into the saucepan, if you don't have a basket. Cover the pot.
Set the timer for 17 minutes for 12 eggs or 15 minutes for 6 eggs. Reduce the cooking time by a couple of minutes if using regular sized eggs.
When the time is up, remove the eggs and place them in icy cold water to cool.

Preparing the Eggs

Once the eggs are cooled, carefully peel them, discarding the shells.
Cut the eggs in half, lengthwise and place them on a serving platter.
Scoop out the cooked yolks and set aside.

Make the Filling

Using a fork, mash up the egg yolks.
Add the mustard, mayonnaise, tabasco and salt and pepper.
Mix well. If you want a creamier texture, you can add more mayonnaise.
Spoon or pipe the egg mixture into the egg white halves.
Sprinkle with paprika.
Store the devilled eggs for up to 2 days in a sealed, airtight container.
