really good tasting deviled eggs.
It uses sun-dried tomatoes, capers,
shallots, mustard and mayonnaise.

12 eggs, hard boiled
8 sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil)
2 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons sliced basil, divided

Directions:

in a microwave-safe bowl
and cover them with water.
Microwave for 2 minutes,
then let the tomatoes sit several
minutes until they have softened.
Drain on paper towels,finely mince.
Peel the shells off the eggs,
slice the eggs in half lengthwise.

a potato ricer or a meshed strainer
to break them up into small pieces.
Combine the yolks, tomatoes, capers,
shallot, mustard, mayonnaise and
