Main Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounce jar chopped pimentos
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Hard boil 6 large eggs (plus I suggest at least 2 extra in case you have difficulty peeling one or two of them). Read this post on How To Make Perfect Hard Boil Eggs. In summary, add the eggs to a kettle or pot, cover the eggs with at least 2 inches of cold water, and bring to a ripping fast boil. Shut the heat off, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. After that time, transfer them to an ice bath where they need to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. After that time, bang the base (fat) end of the egg against your kitchen sink, and peel the eggs under running water.
  • Halve the hard-boiled eggs vertically; set aside.
  • Place the yolks in a medium bowl and to it, add the mayo*, shredded cheese, pimentos, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and mash to combine.
  • Carefully spoon the filling mixture into the center of each egg. I use a small spoon although you can use a piping bag and large round tip however that is too fussy for me. Repeat until all empty egg whites are filled.
  • Evenly sprinkle each deviled egg with paprika, add a pimento or two for garnishing, and optionally garnish by sprinkling green onions and serve immediately. Eggs are best served fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 2 days although they will not look as pretty and the filling mixture may turn runnier as time passes. (See Notes for Make Ahead Directions)
