Becky's Deviled Eggs

Becky, no! From the best to what surely are the worst. Boring, bland, different in a bad way, just awful. Just egg, a little melted butter, a little mayonnaise, and a little sugar. And it doesn't go together well. At all. And to save Becky the humiliation of submitting what certainly is the worst recipe I've tried, I won't include her last name.

Some people put sugar in deviled eggs. I don't care for it. Others put butter in deviled eggs. I can handle that in some instances, but it's not my favorite. And this recipe is just mayonnaise, butter, and sugar. And in such a small quantity that it was hard to fill the eggs with filling because there just wasn't enough of it! The original recipe actually called for 8 eggs, which would have made for even LESS filling than I used because I used 6 eggs, and the same proportion of other ingredients. The original recipe also called for either mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, and prior to testing this recipe, I thought I might test it with both. But it's not worth it, trust me.

Here is the recipe:

6 hard-boiled eggs
2 teaspoons melted butter
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1. Mix all ingredients together and fill egg halves.

This thing was just a total mess and really doesn't deserve any more discussion. It had really no good flavor, the texture was gritty because of the sugar without much else, and there was no garnish. I've tried to move away from paprika as a garnish, and although it wouldn't be any good on this recipe, at least it would make them more visually appealing.

Here are the scores:

Overall: 33 out of 100
Texture: 3 out of 20 (just too gritty)
Flavor: 4 out of 200
Uniqueness: 5 out of 20
Appearance: 2 out of 20
Ease of preparation: 19 out of 20
