  5. Sprinkle with paprika to garnish. Serve on a temp-tations® tray.

 

 

Tara’s Tidbits®

I bring the eggs to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook for 18-20 minutes. I drain the eggs, cover with cold water, crack the shells, and peel the eggs immediately. The egg yolks will mash easier and mix smoother if you don’t let the eggs get too cold.
