Best 4 Deviled Eggs With Lemon Recipes

THE BEST DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

LEMON DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in medium saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover eggs by at least 1 inch. Add baking soda; stir gently until dissolved. Bring water to boil.
• Cover pan with lid. Remove from heat. Let stand 15 min.
• Use slotted spoon to transfer eggs to bowl of ice water. Let stand 15 min. or until eggs are completely cooled, changing water when necessary to keep it cold.
• Peel eggs, then cut lengthwise in half. Place egg yolks in medium bowl; mash with fork or potato masher. Reserve half the chives; stir remaining chives into yolks along with mayo, mustard, lemon zest and juice. Spoon into egg whites. Sprinkle with reserved chives.

DEVILED EGGS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Place eggs in pot and cover with water. Bring to a rolling boil. When the water reaches the boiling point, turn the flame off and put a lid on the pot and set aside for twenty minutes.
• Peel and discard all of the egg shells. Take 3 of the eggs and remove the yolk and discard the whites. With the remaining hard boiled eggs carefully slice through the eggs length wise and remove the yolks.
• Place all the yolks in a bowl. Finely chop parsley and add all the ingredients to the egg yolks, then combine well with a fork. Consistency should be smooth, add olive oil if needed and taste for seasoning. Transfer egg yolk mixture to a plastic bag, maneuvering to one corner of the bag, twist the excess of the bag pushing the yolks down to the corner.
• With scissors snip a small opening in the corner of the bag. Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
• Garnish with finely chopped scallions or parsley.
