HOW TO MAKE DEVILED EGGS
The simple answer is – by boiling some eggs, peeling and cutting them in half lengthwise, then mixing the yolks with other ingredients and filling the empty egg halves with the mixture. It really is as simple as it sounds. The best thing about deviled eggs is that you can ‘dress’ your eggs in a virtually endless flavour combinations. So your deviled eggs can be different every time you make them.
The most popular ingredients used in making deviled eggs are probably mayonnaise and mustard. However, other ingredients, such as thick yogurt or sour cream (or naturally low fat fromage fraise) can also be used. You can also add vegetables, cooked or raw, spice and lemon juice or pickles for sharpness, as well as fish. Check out my Smoked Salmon Wasabi Deviled Eggs recipe down below!
Devilled eggs are quite uncomplicated and quick to make (once the eggs have been boiled and cooled). Despite their simplicity they can make a stunning addition to your party menu. The step-by-step instructions I included below can be used with any devilled eggs recipe. I hope you find these helpful.
Step-By-Step Instructions How To Make Deviled Eggs
Boil the eggs. To ensure the eggs don’t crack gently bring them to boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave with the lid still on for 6 minutes.
Your eggs will peel easily if, once boiled, you rinse them for a few seconds under cold water and leave to cool (without the water).
Peel and cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Squeeze each egg halve gently to remove the yolk.
Combine the egg yolks with the other filling ingredients (as per recipe). Puree until smooth.
Spoon equal amounts of the mixture into the empty egg halves and place on a serving platter. If you like place a drop of mayonnaise or sour cream at the bottom of each egg halve to ensure it’s stable.
*NOTE: to prevent the filling from drying keep it covered and refrigerated and spoon into the egg halves just before you are ready to serve them.
And now my final recipe of 2017!
Enjoy these Smoked Salmon Wasabi Devilled Eggs and all the best in the New Year!
