Celebrate National Deviled Egg Day!

Preparing hard cooked eggs at a higher elevation requires cooks to do some testing to get their desired results. 

As elevation rises, the temperature at which water boils declines, so a longer time is required to prepare hard cooked eggs. 

This recipe is a good place to start for finding your perfect hard-boiled egg!
