6 hard-cooked eggs
3 tablespoons finely chopped cooked ham
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Neufchatel (cream cheese), softened
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
Peel the eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and set whites aside. Place hard-cooked yolks and the rest of the ingredients in a medium sized plastic bag, press out air. Seal the bag and mash the egg mixture until it is well blended. Push contents toward one corner. Snip about 1/2 inch off the corner of the bag. Squeeze the bag gently and fill the egg whites with yolk mixture. Chill to blend flavors, or you can serve immediately. Garnish with paprika.
