Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon balsamic glaze (optional, for garnish)
• 6 pieces small basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them fully with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-10 minutes.

Step 3

After the eggs have cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.

Step 4

Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 5

Remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter, cut side up.

Step 6

To the yolks, add mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 7

Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the filling into each egg white half, mounding it slightly.

Step 8

If desired, drizzle each deviled egg with a small amount of balsamic glaze and garnish with a small basil leaf for an extra Italian flair.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy your delicious Italian Deviled Eggs!
