Hot deviled eggs
2 tablespoons butter, margarine, or oil
½ green pepper, chopped fine
⅓ cup celery, chopped fine
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon flour
1⅓ cups cooked or canned tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 drops tabasco sauce
⅔ cup cold milk
6 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
Crumbs, butter or margarine
Heat butter or margarine and cook chopped vegetables in it until they are tender. Blend in the flour.
Add tomatoes and seasonings and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
Stir the hot tomato mixture into the milk and carefully add the eggs.
Turn into a greased baking dish and top with crumbs. Dot with butter or margarine and bake at 375° F. (moderate oven) until the crumbs are brown and the mixture is hot, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Menu Suggestion
Serve with asparagus, broccoli, or other green vegetable, mashed potatoes, and cheese with fruit pie for dessert.
For Variety
Instead of adding crumbs and baking the deviled egg mixture, serve it on toast or in patty shells.
