Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 24 deviled eggs

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces finely shredded Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar
  • 12 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons pimentos drained and minced
  • cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh chives and paprika for garnish

Instructions

  • Submerge the eggs in a saucepan, adding enough water to cover them by approximately ½ inch. Bring the water to a vigorous boil over high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to rest undisturbed for 15-17 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water or cool them under cold running water for at least 5 minutes. Once chilled, peel the eggs and slice them lengthwise.
  • Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.
  • Fold in the shredded cheese and minced pimentos delicately, then transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
  • Fill the hollowed egg whites with the prepared mixture and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped chives if desired. Refrigerate the eggs for at least one hour before serving to ensure they are thoroughly chilled.
