A Quick Summer Treat

Eggs are tasty and good for you. They contain so many of the food nutrients that are needed by the body: protein, (healthy) fat, iron, phosphorus, calcium, and vitamins A, B & D. Not only are they a good breakfast food, but they also can be served as part of a main meal.
Incredible Deviled Eggs
Ingredients:
6 Hard-Boiled Eggs
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Mustard
1 1/2 tbsp Mayonaise or Salad Dressing (Miracle Whip)
Steps:
1. Remove shells from the hard-boiled eggs.
2. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise or crosswise.
3. Take out the yolks with a spoon, and put them in a mixing bowl, being very careful not to break the whites.
4. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the salt, pepper, mustard, mayonaise or salad dressing. Mix until smooth.
5. Refill whites neatly with the egg-yolk mixture, heaping it up lightly. Chill until served. Serves six.
Hints:
1. Any of the following ingredients may be added to the filling for deviled eggs: chopped ham, pickles, olives, celery, pimentos.
2. Deviled eggs may be garnished with a dash of paprika, chopped parsley, strips of pimento, or slices of ripe olives.
3. To pack deviled eggs for picnics or school lunches, smooth the egg yolk mixture so that it is level wtih the egg white, put the halves together, and wrap in wax paper, twisting the ends of the paper.
