Pimento Deviled Eggs

Pimento Deviled Eggs

Ingredients
  

  • 12 hard boiled eggs
  • 2 tbsp. cream cheese
  • 3 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. dill pickle juice
  • ½ tsp. distilled vinegar
  • ½ tsp. onion, finely grated
  • 2 ounces jarred pimento peppers, finely chopped
  • 1-⅓ cup, extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, dill pickle juice and vinegar; do not mix yet.
  • Grate the onion with a microplane or fine grater and add to the bowl; do not mix yet. 
  • Before mixing, chop the pimentos; even the pre-diced ones are a little too big for piping the final filling back into the eggs. 
  • Add pimentos to the bowl and mix well; it is recommended to first mix all ingredients, except the cheese, really well for a better flavor consistency.
  • Once mixed, grate the extra sharp cheddar cheese and add that to the bowl, doing a quick second mix: the cheese will break up into smaller pieces, but there is no need to have the perfect consistency yet, as the egg yolks are still left to add.
  • Cut each boiled egg in half, longways, and use a small spoon to pop the egg yolk away from the egg white and into the bowl with the filling. 
  • Rinse the egg whites of any residual yolk; set aside. 
  • Mix the egg yolks into the pimento filling; it should become relatively smooth with only the pieces of pimento and some cheese pieces still intact.
  • At this point you can spoon the pimento cheese-yolk filling into the egg whites or use a piping bag and to fill the egg whites.
