Everybody loves a deviled egg or five. Below is a basic and easy recipe that is elevated with a "chow-chow" garnish (pickled veggies, relish, -or in my case- sweet homemade pickled green tomatoes from a friend).

Instructions
- Add eggs in a single layer to a pot, add cold water to cover by ~ 1 1/2 inches and put on the stovetop. Start a timer for 17 minutes. Turn burner to high and bring to a boil, covered. Reduce heat to low, uncover, and simmer for the remainder of the time.
- Rinse them in cool water or blanch them in an ice bath (preferred so they stop cooking) and place in the refrigerator until cool enough to peel.
- Peel the eggs, cut in half, and scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Set the whites aside. Mash up all the yolks with a fork and add all ingredients. I like to use a Potato ricer

- Older eggs are generally easier to peel, so use your older eggs first.
- Eggs aren’t peeling and playing nice? Bummer… Take a breathe and do the best you can. The best advice for the most consistency I can give is to plunge the cooked eggs in ice water and let sit at least 20 minutes. Gently try to crack the whole egg with a lot of gentle pushes on the shell. When it’s all cracked, find your opening and peel away.
