Cool Hand Luke: Huevos Diablo al Newman (Deviled Eggs, Paul Newman Style)

Huevos Diablo al Newman (Deviled Eggs, Paul Newman Style)

Yield: 12 servings

6 medium eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

3 tablespoons peach salsa (preferably Newman's Own)

1 teaspoon honey dijon mustard

1 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro

2 teaspoons fresh jalapeno or serano pepper, seeded & minced

chili powder

Place eggs in pot and add enough water to cover them 1-inch; add salt. Bring to boil. As soon as boiling begins, turn off heat, cover and let sit for 12-14 minutes. Immediately rinse eggs in ice water until room temperature. Peel carefully. Cut in half and carefully scoop out yolks into small mixing bowl. Place egg white in fridge until ready for stuffing.

Mash salsa (I tried hi & low to find Newman's Peach Salsa but couldn't, so I substituted Mrs. Renfro's) with yolks in bowl. (NOTE: Try to scoop more chunk than liquid from the salsa.) Add mayo, mustard, cilantro, jalapeno. Taste, it may need a pinch of salt.

Remove egg whites from fridge and using a spoon add a dollop of egg yolk mix to fill the whites. Top with a sprinkle of chili powder. Serve.
