Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan.
- Fill the saucepan with cold water, covering the eggs by about 1 inch.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
- After the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them immediately to the ice bath using a slotted spoon.
- Let the eggs cool in the ice bath for about 5 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell all around.
- Peel the eggs under running water to help remove any stubborn bits of shell.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth.
- Add the curry powder, mayonnaise, and BBQ sauce to the mashed yolks.
- Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined and create a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the curried yolk mixture.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of curry powder or chopped fresh herbs.
- Arrange the curried eggs on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- To easily peel boiled eggs, plunge them into ice water immediately after boiling.
- Adjust the amount of curry powder according to your spice preference.
- For a healthier version, you can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, like chives or parsley, for extra flavor and a touch of color.
