LINDA'S CELEBRATION EGGS

Today I have a wonderful recipe for super delicious stuffed eggs from my sister Linda.  They are amazing!  Not to mention how beautiful they look on your platter.
Without further ado here is the recipe.  Try them soon.

LINDA'S CELEBRATION EGGS

1 dozen eggs
1/4 cup Knudsen sour cream
1/3 cup Miracle Whip
2 heaping tsp Sweet Relish
5 strips Bacon
2/3 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
Black Olives
Red Bell Pepper
Chinese Red Hot Garlic Sauce

Using a large pan, put eggs in cold water.  Bring to a boil, take off the burner and cover for 15 minutes.  They will now peel exceptionally well.  In a bowl, put the yolks of the eggs and place the halved whites on your best egg dishes.  With a fork flake the yolks.

In a skillet cook bacon until well done and finely chop.  This can be done ahead of time.  Add all top 7 ingredients to the eggs.  Salt and Pepper lightly.  Mix well and taste.  If the balance is there and they are not too dry, the ingredients are fine.  Eggs come in different sizes so the mixture of sour cream, mustard, miracle whip and relish will vary.  Add just a shot of the Chinese Hot Garlic Sauce, if you like just a little hint of heat (trust me, it's delicious).

I like to pipe my egg mixture into the shells, but you can spoon it in.  You will have plenty to be generous.  Slice the black olives and put a circle on top of each egg.  Put a small piece of red pepper in the center of the olive.  It is really beautiful!  Garnish with flat leaf parsley and thin slices of the pepper and serve.  Chilling will enhance the flavor.

The cheese adds a new dimension to the eggs and the hot garlic sauce makes them exceptional as an appetizer with drinks or punch.  I promise you, people will ask for the recipe.  It never fails once you balance the flavors and texture to suit your taste.  You can sprinkle with paprika before putting the olives on but I skip this step.
Mama Mia!!!!!
