Macadamia Nut Butter & Parmesan Deviled Eggs

When it comes to making deviled eggs I suggest making extra. Is there ever enough? Traditional deviled eggs are pretty close to perfect in my opinion, but when you have something so right, isn't it correct to say it can only get better? That was my thinking with this simple creative recipe. I took two ingredients I love and I believe most people do, macadamia nuts and parmesan cheese, and introduced them to deviled eggs.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Place eggs into a large ( 8qt) pot ( just do not use a small pot) and cover with enough water to cover the eggs by 2 inches
Turn off the heat and bring the water to just UNDER the boil, 185-190 degrees. Do not bring them to a rumbling boil
Next turn off the heat and cover with a lid and set your timer for 10 minutes
EASY PEEL METHOD
After 10 minutes uncover the pot and use a large device to lightly crush the eggshells. #potatomasher #largevase #largerspoon
You do not need to crush the eggs a lot. Just enough to allow some of the water to enter the shells.
The set timer for 3 more minutes
After the 3 minutes place the eggs into an ice bath and shock the eggs for at least 5 minutes to cool.
Eggs will peel easily
You can also add salt to the water if the eggs are fresh to help weaken the shells. Older eggs 7 to 10 work best and do not need salt.

Deviled Eggs

Using a food processor, chop the macadamia nuts up into a butter. They will chop up nicely, will not become a complete butter, but the result will be a super soft crumb of macadamia nuts. Really nice texture.
Then add in the rest of the ingredients and bring them other.
You can fill the deviled egg whites a number of ways.
Try using a plastic bag, fill the bag on one side. Cut a small slit in the lower corner and squeeze the egg mixture into each egg white.
If you have a pastry bag, add a star tip to the bottom for a pretty presentation and fill with egg mixture and fill egg whites.
