Caper Lemon Deviled Eggs
I don't know why I haven't tried more recipes with capers because I've always had an affinity for them, so I decided to try a classic combination. There were so many choices for recipes to try, but I settled on an old favorite.
We LOVE deviled eggs in our house and last year I shared one of our favorites, these Deviled Eggs with Candied Bacon. This year I found a new favorite. These deviled eggs are great for brunch, as an appetizer, or as a party food. When I first tried the recipe the flavors were a bit overpowering, so I modified the original to our liking.
If you are wondering what other fancy toppings to put onto deviled eggs, here are some ideas:

Bacon, Blue Cheese & Chives
Paprika, Radish, & Chives
Feta, Lemon & Oregano
Sriracha, Black Sesame Seeds & Cilantro

Caper Lemon Deviled Eggs

Adapted from [Deviled Eggs with Lemon Zest, Chives and Capers|http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/deviled-eggs-with-lemon-zest-chives-and-capers.html]
Ingredients

6 hard boiled eggs
1 1/2 T Dijon mustard
1 1/2 T mayonnaise
1/2 t freshly ground pepper
2 T minced fresh chives
2 t finely minced shallots
1 1/2 T coarsely chopped capers (I didn't rinse and dry mine, but you may prefer to)
1 t grated lemon zest

Instructions

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place in a bowl. Set aside the whites to be filled later.
Add the mustard, mayonnaise, pepper, chives (leave just a few to garnish with), shallots, capers and lemon zest to the yolks. Mash together with a fork until the yolk mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Spoon 1 heaping teaspoonful of the yolk mixture into each egg-white half, mounding it slightly.
Cover and chill for an hour and serve within 4 hours.
