Pssstttttttt. I’ve got a secret. Well, maybe not so much a secret as an acknowledgment. I procrastinate. I let an idea sit so long in my head, that I avoid actually confronting it head-on. I make to-do lists for myself, and usually, there are several items that reoccur day after day after day, because I just don’t feel like doing them yet. My to-do lists are pretty spectacular though. You never know what you’re going to find on them. They are almost an excuse to break out the pretty sticky notes and notepads. Speaking of which, I’m totally in love with neon-colored sticky notes or any notepad with a sarcastic phrase on it. There I go again, procrastinating. I just can’t seem to get around to writing down this recipe. I’ll use any avoidance tactic imaginable to push it off a little longer. Perhaps I should create a list of things to do while I’m dragging my feet. I might need to use a whimsical kitten notepad because I’m going to need loads and loads of pages while I dally about postponing the inevitable. And yes, I do actually own several kitten notepads. They sit at my work desk for when I need to take notes in meetings. No boring old bound paper legal pads for this girl.
After admitting to my stalling habit, it should come as no surprise that I actually made these deviled eggs at Thanksgiving. Yes, Thanksgiving, almost two months have gone by since then. That’s some serious procrastination on my part about getting this recipe out. Was it because they didn’t taste good? Hell no, they were fantastic. Was it because I’ve been making so many other dishes, that they just got lost in the clutter? Nope, I’ve been pretty lazy in the kitchen lately. Mainly because I haven’t been getting home till late from work, when I am then forced to just throw whatever I can together, in the least amount of time possible. I can’t seem to get out of bed in the mornings, which means I don’t get to work on time, which means working over to make up for my lazy procrastination. There’s that word again. Well enough of my blubbering on and on about nothing. Here’s the recipe. It’s fantastic. Try not to procrastinate too long before you try making these deviled eggs, or if you do, make sure you write down the recipe on a pretty piece of note paper so that you don’t forget to make them later on when you’re not feeling so lagging.
Ingredients:
- 9 Hard-Boiled Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1 Teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Chives, Finely Chopped (Additional for Garnish)
- 1 (4-oz.) Jar of Diced Pimentos (Divided)
Directions:
- Drain the pimentos and then place them between several layers of paper towels to pat off and absorb any excess liquid.
- Halve the deviled eggs lengthwise, placing the yolks into a food processor.
- Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, pepper, chives, and 1 tablespoon of the dried pimentos to the food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
- Fill the egg whites with the blended yolk mixture and then garnish with the reserved pimentos and additional finely chopped fresh chives.
Suggestions:

- If you don’t have fresh chives available, use 1 teaspoon of dried chives in the egg filling and omit the fresh chives as a garnish.
- I use a food processor for this recipe so that the deviled egg filling is smooth. If you don’t mind the filling being chunky, you can mash the egg filling with a fork in a small bowl.
- Fill a Ziploc bag with the egg yolk mixture, snip off the corner, and fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture.
Improvements:
- Before garnishing the eggs with additional diced pimentos or fresh chives, sprinkle a little bit of paprika, chili powder, or finely ground black pepper on top of each egg.
- Replace the fresh chives in this recipe with fresh parsley.
- Garnish with halved pimento stuffed olives.
