1 green onion, chopped finely

2 tablespoons parsley, chopped finely

Cut eggs in half horizontally. Gently remove yolks and place them in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Mash well. Season to taste. Add mayonnaise to achieve desired texture.  Spoon into a pastry bag with a wide tip.* Place eggs on a platter or into a tart tin. Garnish with extra parsley and green onion slices. Makes one dozen.
