PRO ADVICE Perfect Every Time DEVILED EGGS You may have a great deviled egg recipe already, but consider these tips 1 COOK EXTRA When hard-cooking the eggs, add a few more to the pot. The additional yolks will give you more filling for overstuffed eggs, and the extra whites might come in handy if any of the others tear. 2 BREAK OUT THE BEATERS For the smoothest filling, beat the cooked yolks with an electric mixer. This step will remove any tiny lumps, making the filling much easier to pipe. 3 TOP ’EM OFF Garnishes are half the fun of deviled eggs. No matter what you choose—capers, smoked paprika, pickled onions, or shrimp (to name a few)—the toppings shouldn’t be wider than the egg itself.

No. 1 Crunch Consider this an insider tip: It may look like a bar cookie, but you’ll need a fork to eat it. Similar to a crisp with baked fruit and a crumbly topping, a crunch sandwiches a jammy fruit filling between two buttery layers. The fruit is cooked down into a thick, nonsyrupy preserve. The bottom layer should be firm enough to keep from crumbling when a piece is cut from the pan, so adding toasted pecans to the mixture improves the texture as well as the taste. The top layer can duplicate the bottom, or it can be a simple streusel made with flour, sugar, and butter. Blueberry-Lemon Crunch Bars ACTIVE 30 MIN. - TOTAL 5 HOURS, 30 MIN.
