Indian-Deviled Egg

Ingredients:
6 - hard-cooked eggs
½ - cup Parmesan cheese
1 - teaspoon horseradish
½ - teaspoon salt
½ - teaspoon dry mustard
¼ - teaspoon pepper
3 - tablespoons salad dressing or mayonnaise
½ - teaspoon paprika
¼ - cup black olives, sliced

How to cook:
This is a good way to hard-boil or hard-cook eggs. Put eggs into a large pot and cover with cold water about an inch over the eggs. Set the temperature to medium-high and heat until water starts to rapidly boil. After the water begins to boil, turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for 20 minutes. When the timer goes off, pour out the water and add cold water to stop the cooking. Crack the eggshell and remove the shell.

Take a knife and cut eggs lengthwise in half. Next step is to remove yolk and put into a small mixing bowl. With a fork, mesh egg yolks. To the egg yolks, add Parmesan cheese, horseradish, salt, dry mustard, pepper, and salad dressing (or mayonnaise).

Fill egg whites with yolk mixture and you want to have the mixture heaping. Garnish with paprika and add the olives to the top.
