Retro Dishes - Devilled Eggs

If you're someone who keeps your eyes pealed on the food industry you'll have noticed there's a huge increase in retro dishes such as fish finger sandwiches, prawn cocktail, vol au vent, chicken kiev and many more!

They're retro and often classics for a reason... they taste delicious! They're normally super simple to make and you can of course give them a modern or alternative twist with added ingredients or a simple change of the way it has been traditionally presented.

I had an abundance of eggs, due to my fiancée's fathers chickens being extremely 'good layers' - as he would say. So I decided for my retro dish to make 'Devilled Eggs'. This super simple little dish makes a delicious dish served in a lettuce leaf as a starter or just as a picnic item or canapé.

Ingredients:

Eggs
Mayonnaise (1 teaspoon per egg)
Paprika
Salt and Pepper
...no really that's it!


 Method:
- Place the eggs into a pan of boiling water on a medium stove and boil for 8 minutes.
- De-shell and slice the eggs in half removing the yolk and placing in a bowl whilst keeping the half an egg white in tact. 
- Using a fork break down the yolks with the mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
- Using a teaspoon place the yolk mixture into the wells in the egg white halves.
- Sprinkle a little paprika onto the eggs and serve.


These might not look amazing but they tasted pretty darn good!
