Deviled Eggs, My Way

By Sam Pierce

Ingredients (~12 servings)

  • 12 hard-boiled eggs, cooled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp pickle brine (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • Thinly sliced radishes
  • Microgreens
  • Finely chopped chives
  • Cooked bacon pieces
  • Paprika
  • Cornichons

 

Peel and Halve the Eggs

Peel all 12 eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.

Using a spoon, carefully scoop the egg yolks into a medium bowl; The yolks should pop right out if your eggs are properly hard-boiled.

Place the empty egg white halves on a large plate or serving tray.

Make the Filling

Add the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle brine, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the egg yolks.

Blend until smooth using an immersion blender or fork.

The mixture should be creamy with no lumps – if you want it extra smooth, use a small food processor.

Fill and Garnish the Eggs

Spoon ~1 tablespoon of filling into each egg white half.

You can also use a piping bag if you want them to look fancy, but a spoon works fine.

Top with whatever garnishes you like – bacon and chives are classic, but the radishes and microgreens add a nice crunch and color.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.

Deviled Eggs

This is all stuff I typically have on hand and takes ~30 minutes start to finish. Perfect for when you need to bring something to a party but don’t want to spend all day cooking.
