I
got this recipe from Kay Hartman many months ago, after hearing everyone
rave about it. Then I finally tried it and discovered why it was so popular.
Not your typical devilled eggs. I modified her recipe ever-so-slightly,
by substituting caviar for half of the capers.

Cut eggs lengthwise into halves. Lift out the yolks, and mash
them with a fork until smooth.
