SOUTHWEST DEVILED EGGS

INGREDIENTS:

12 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons Mustard, Ground
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon Cumin, Ground
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper, Ground
Chives or chopped green onion (optional)

DIRECTIONS:


Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; place in small bowl. Mash yolks with fork or potato masher.
Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, seasoned salt, cumin, chili powder and ground red pepper until smooth and creamy. Spoon or pipe yolk mixture into egg white halves. Sprinkle lightly with additional chili powder and garnish with chives or chopped green onion, if desired.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve.
To hard cook eggs: Gently place eggs in single layer in medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover eggs with 1 inch of water. Bring just to boil on medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand about 15 minutes for large eggs. (Adjust time up or down by 3 minutes for each size larger or smaller.) After 15 minutes, pour off the hot water and rapidly cool eggs by running them under cold water (or place in ice water) until completely cooled. Refrigerate and use within a week

Cheese Omelette Pizza

The procedure is more important than ingredients... otherwise the omelet gets burnt from the base
so few things to remember
1. use non stick pan
2. cook at very low heat..at 1/5
3. use very lil oil (just enough to lubricate the surface of pan)

beat 2 eggs add salt red chilli flakes and one tea spoon milk....

heat oil and pour the eggs.. after a minute or so shake the pan a bit to make sure omelet is not sticking to the pan... now add chopped onions, capsicum and tomatoes, green chillies and spread some cheddar cheese slices (shredded) over the top

dish out wen u think its cooked from the base...and you can heat it in microwave oven for 45 sec (at 60% power) if u think its not cooked from the top...
eat it fresh to enjoy the melted cheese
