PESTO DEVILED EGGS

These are awesome deviled eggs! My mom came up with the idea to add Pesto, and I played around with it to see how it worked. It turned out great, I make it all the time and usually it's devoured within a few days. I always make a lot, so you might want to split it in half, or maybe even in quarters.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 dozen eggs
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup mayonnaise
6 -8 tablespoons basil pesto

Steps:

  • Steam eggs for about 55 minutes, then let them cool for about 1 1/2 hours. Crack all the eggs.
  • Cut the eggs in half long ways, then drop all the yolks into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the yolks. It doesn't have to be perfect at this point, just so that they're small-ish crumbles.
  • Add 1/3 cup of water and 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, then stir. Add the pesto, stirring every time you add 2 TBS.
  • Evenly distribute the mixed egg yolk and pesto into the center of each egg, then serve.
