RECIPE BACKSTORY
This is the way I've always made devilled eggs, and although the recipe isn't very complex, they sure are addictive. I usually don't measure the ingredients, but for this purpose, I based the recipe on one-half dozen eggs. It's important that you start with eggs that are not too fresh, or you may have trouble peeling them. It's best to use eggs that are a couple of weeks old...Don't worry; refrigerated eggs stay good for a long time. If you aren't sure about the whole hard boiling process, please see my recipe for BASIC - HARD BOILED EGGS. You're gonna love these!
