Eggs

too fresh. Try using these eggs in an egg salad, or anywhere else you would need chopped eggs!

Salting eggs while they are frying toughens the white. Instead, salt the eggs immediately after cooking, but before they get cold, so the eggs have time to absorb the flavors of the salt.

Always fry eggs on a low heat. They will absorb less fat this way and do not toughen up and get that hard material around the edge.

Safety
Salmonella is a foodbourne infection of the intestinal tract. It can occur from eating raw or undercooked eggs. The bacteria are found in healthy hens' ovaries producing healthy looking eggs. The bacteria can be passed on to the yolk of the egg, and in lesser instances, even in the whites. The temperature at which salmonella can be destroyed is at 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Pasteurized eggs are held for 3.5 minutes in 140 degree F (60 degrees C) water. This will kill any possible salmonella bacteria.

Spices
Basil, chervil, chili powder, chives, cumin, curry, dill, fennel, marjoram, paprika, parsley, savory, tarragon, thyme.

Deviled Eggs
Recipe By: Jennifer A. Wickes

6 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1-teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1-teaspoon parsley
1-teaspoon chives
salt and pepper -- to taste

Add the eggs into salted water, and bring to a boil.

Boil for 10 minutes. Then drain the water and add ice and cold water to the eggs.

When the ice melts, the eggs are cool enough to handle (about 20 minutes).

Slice eggs in half. Remove the yolks and place in a bowl.

Mash the yolks. Add the rest of the ingredients, and mix well.

Using a cookie press or a pastry bag (or you can just spoon in the yolk mixture), refill the eggs with the yolk mixture.

Sprinkle each egg with paprika.

Garnish the eggs by putting them on a plate of lettuce.
