Smoky Deviled Eggs

6 eggs (I usually boil an extra egg or two in case one cracks during boiling)
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. minced shallots
1/2 tsp. chipotle chile powder + extra for garnish
3 dashes of Tabasco
salt and pepper to taste

  1. Gently place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring water to a boil. Boil eggs for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and place eggs in cold ice water for 20 minutes.

    (Eggs, like meat, will continue to cook via their own heat. The ice water helps prevent this and also makes them easier to peel.)

  2. Peel eggs. Cut in half, long-ways. Gently remove yolks from eggs and place them in a medium bowl. Mix yolks, mayo, shallots, chipotle chile powder, Tabasco, salt and pepper until well combined. Spoon or pipe the mixture into the hollowed out egg whites. Sprinkle lightly with chipotle chile powder, if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
