Spicy Deviled Eggs

My sister, Lori, sent this recipe to me.


12 eggs
¼ cup finely diced celery
¼ cup finely diced sweet gherkin pickles
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp chopped green onion (green part only)
¼ tsp chipotle chili powder (or chili powder)
¼ tsp salt

In large saucepan, place eggs; bring to boil. Boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 10 minutes

Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs 1 at a time, to paper towel. Using handle of wooden spoon, tap each egg gently in several places to crack shell without completely splitting. Transfer eggs to large bowl; cover with cooking water, refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour.

Peel eggs and halve lengthwise. Arrange whites on platter; transfer yolks to bowl.

Add celery, pickles, mayonnaise, onion, chipotle powder and salt to yolks; mash to combine, adding more mayonnaise if desired. Spoon or pipe into egg whites.
