Deviled eggs are so easy to make and they offer a nice alternative to the basic boiled egg. They can even be stored in the fridge so your guests can pick off of them throughout the day. Plus, each egg will still taste fresh, even hours into your moving process. What You’ll Need: •8 eggs •1 and ¼ teaspoon of salt • ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper • ½ cup of mayonnaise •1 teaspoon of yellow mustard •A pot •A large bowl Directions: Place eggs into the pot. Fill the pot with water until the water is at least two inches above your eggs. Add one teaspoon of salt to boiling water to make eggs a bit easier to peel. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off heat. Cover pot with a lid and let sit for around 10 minutes. Drain water from the pot and then run cold water over eggs. Peel eggs and discard of shells. Place eggs on a plate and then slice each one in half, starting from the tip. Using a spoon, scoop out cooked yolk from the halves and put the yolks in a bowl. Combine yolks with remaining salt, ground pepper, mayonnaise, and mustard. Afterwards, use a spoon to evenly distribute the mixture back into the boiled egg whites. Cover your newly formed deviled eggs with plastic wrap or put in Tupperware. Store in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.   After that, you’ll have a delicious finger food for every pair of helping hands!
