- To cook the eggs place them in a cold, large saucepan. Cover with one inch (or a finger tip) of cold water. Once the water starts to boil, reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Remove and place in an ice bath until completely cooled.
- Peel cooked eggs and rinse with water to remove all bits of shell. "Surprise" shell is very unpleasant!
- Cut eggs in half; Separate the yolks from the whites.
- Chop the whites; Smash the yolks with a fork; Combine in a large bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. If you prefer more Miracle Whip, salt, or pepper--add to taste.
- Chill before serving.
Use this method to boil all of your eggs to avoid those weird green yolks. Eggs are one of those starchy foods, like pasta, that continue to cook even after you turn off the heat. The ice bath stops the cooking. No rubber eggs, please!
