I just love "deviled eggs" and these were no exception. I took the advise of Kayne, and used 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. I reduced the paprika mixed in, by half, and used the remainder to sprinkle on top of the eggs. Perfection! Made for Everyday Holiday Tag-Jan'10. -
I love stuffed eggs. This recipe has a really yummy flavor. I put a little less than a teaspoon of paprika though. It just looked like too much with the yolks and I TBS was enough for the lemon juice. Had them with my lunch and they were gobbled all up real quick. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing Dreamer.

I know I only tagged this today, but I decided to make it for a snack today, since I don't intend to do much cooking today - that will come tomorrow. I tried to give it 5 stars, but for some reason, I think the stars didn't "take". I'll keep trying, though. I loved it, but I can see where some other people may it a bit "tart". I think next time I will do less than the 1 tablespoon that I used. For myself I wouldn't change anything, but that would probably not apply to everyone. However, since I am rating this without any input from my DH, I will go only by my taste buds. It was great!!! -
Quick and easy, as promised! Very nice, with a light lemony tang. Thanks for sharing. -
Loved Andi's photograph of these and loved the sound of these from the ingredients list. I boiled 6 eggs and upped the other ingredients appropriately. The only change I made was to add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the onion, both of which I sauteed until they had softened. Two eggs I made into Eastern European Stuffed Eggs, which we ate as such. Aesthetically as appealing as they were flavoursome, so I'll be making those again for family gatherings, work morning teas etc. Just loved the paprika and lemon juice - and..., well, actually ALL the ingredients - in these. Stuffed Eggs alway look like so much more work than they actually are! The other four eggs I mashed up as filling for yummy egg sandwiches, which I made with the addition of baby spinach leaves. And presto: one of my favourite sandwiches! So I'll be using this recipe often. Thanks for sharing yet another great recipe, Dreamer in Ontario. Made for Potluck Tag!

5++ stars for this recipe! I did not add the sauted onions and used onion powder instead. Added enough lemon juice to give the egg and mayo mixture a creamy texture. Forgot the salt and pepper but for us we really didnt miss it. I did double the recipe for my family and everyone enjoyed the eggs a lot. Served immediately after stuffing. Made and reviewed for ZWT 4. UPDATE: Made these again for our 4th of July get together and everyone loved them especially my dad. Thanks again for posting the recipe!
