This is a recipe that was the reward for solving a bonus puzzle in the Myst Library fireplace in the Path of the Shell expansion for the standalone version of Uru.
- D'nied Eggs:
Place 4 dozen eggs (at least 2 weeks old) in a large kettle, completely immersing the eggs in cool water.
- Place lid on kettle.
- Place kettle on burner on high heat, bringing to a rolling boil.
- Turn heat down to medium high, maintaining a rolling boil for about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Flush with cold water, then add ice cubes (from top of eggs to top of kettle).
- Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Drain water. Place eggs on paper towels to dry.
- Peel eggs. Halve eggs, placing equal amount of yolks into each of 2 mixing bowls.
- Place the halved eggs onto cookie sheets lined with paper towels.
- Using the fork, mash the yolks.
- Add salt (about 10 shakes) and coarse ground black pepper (about 8 shakes) to each bowl.
- Stir.
- To each mixing bowl: squeeze French's mustard (enough to cover 3/4 of the top layer of crushed yolks) and add 6 heaping tablespoons of mayonaise (more or less mayonaise depending on how creamy you want the filling).
- Stir well.
- In one of the mixing bowls, add: 6 Farman's Home Style Baby Dill Pickles (chopped) and 5 heaping teaspoons of Beaver extra hot prepared horseradish.
- Stir very well.
- Taste the filling at this point (Mark Klammer and Eloise McCloskey are my official tasters).
- Add salt, pepper, mayonaise, mustard, horseradish, pickles as needed.
- Then, fill (generously) the halved eggs with the filling. Garnish with a hint of Tone's ground cayenne pepper on each egg and serve.
- Finally, in the other mixing bowl, add: 4-6 green jalapenos (chopped), and 5 red Frenso jalapenos (chopped). As the mood strikes, add 2-3 serannos (chopped) for extra heat.
- Stir very well.
- Taste filling at this point.
- Add salt, pepper, mayonaise, mustard, jalapenos as needed.
- Then fill (generously) the halved eggs with the filling.
- Garnish with green or red jalapenos (thinly sliced), or with serannos (thinly sliced) and serve.
