BACON- BALSAMIC DEVILED EGGS


12 large eggs
4 slices bacon, cooked until crisp & chopped finely
½ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. grated red onion
1 tsp. granulated sugar
½ tsp. LunaOlivo Modena or Citrico balsamic vinegar
1/8 tsp. celery salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
a few sprigs of Italian flat-leaf parsley


1. Place eggs in a large pot in a single layer. Fill the pot with water to cover the eggs by about an inch. Cover and bring water to a boil. Turn off heat and let eggs sit (covered) in hot water for 15 minutes. Drain. Cool the eggs under cool running water in the sink.


2. Peel the eggs and halve lengthwise. Place the cooked yolk in a medium bowl and place the white halves on a serving platter (cut-side up).


3. Mash yolks with a fork. Add bacon, mayonnaise, onion, sugar, vinegar, celery salt and pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined; taste and adjust/add seasonings, as needed.


4. Spoon the mixture into the egg white halves or use a piping bag with a large opening tip. Garnish with parsley. Refrigerate, lightly covered, until ready to serve.


Yield: 24 appetizers


Tips:
*I always hard-boil a few more eggs than the recipe calls for in case of breakage during boiling. You can always use the left over to make egg salad sandwiches.
