Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Smoked Spanish paprika, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with enough water that there's 1 1/2 inches of water above the eggs. Heat on high until water begins to boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leave covered for 14 minutes, then rinse under cold water continuously for 1 minute.
  • Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water. Gently dry with paper towels. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well.
  • Evenly disperse heaping teaspoons of the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 dozen hard-cooked eggs
Filling
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream or crème fraîche
2 tablespoons truffle oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
Black lava salt
Fresh-cracked black pepper
20 tiny chive flowers (optional)

Steps:

  • Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Set 20 egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate. This recipe uses 12 egg yolks, but only yields enough filling for 20 halves; reserve the extra 4 whites for another use.
  • With a fork, mash the yolks to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, truffle oil, and salt, and mix until smooth. (You can also do this using an electric mixer with a whip attachment.) Taste and season accordingly.
  • Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly.
  • Top each egg half with a tiny sprinkle of black lava salt, a grind of fresh-cracked black pepper, and a chive flower, if using.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will not peel as easily and the whites may be more runny.
  • Hard-boil the eggs properly. Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs may be runny and unsafe to eat.
  • Cool the eggs immediately after boiling. This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and make them easier to peel.
  • Peel the eggs carefully. Use a sharp knife or egg peeler to avoid tearing the whites.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The classic deviled egg filling is made with mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika, but there are endless possibilities. Try adding other ingredients such as bacon, cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
  • Garnish the eggs creatively. A simple sprinkle of paprika or chopped parsley can add a touch of elegance. You can also use edible flowers, caviar, or other garnishes to make your deviled eggs stand out.

Conclusion:

Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make, delicious, and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create deviled eggs that are sure to impress your guests.
