Instructions
- Step 1: Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for about 12-15 minutes for perfect hard-boiled eggs.
- Step 2: Cool and Peel: After the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Once cool, tap each egg on a countertop to crack the shell, then peel under running water.
- Step 3: Prepare the Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a mixing bowl, combine yolks with mayonnaise, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Tabasco, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth.
- Step 4: Season to Taste: Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more Tabasco or horseradish for more heat if desired.
- Step 5: Fill the Egg Whites: Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves generously.
- Step 6: Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the filled eggs with Old Bay seasoning and top each with a slice of pickle. Garnish with celery leaves and serve on a platter.
Notes
- Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Best consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- Prepare the filling ahead of time for convenience.
