Servings: 12 Deviled Eggs
Calories: 50kcal
Equipment
- 1½ quart pot to boil 6 eggs
- cutting board and sharp knife
- medium mixing bowl
- mesh strainer
- pastry piping bag and tip
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tbsp. mayonaise
- 1 tsp. spicy brown mustard
- 1 tbsp. Boursin cheese - I used garlic & herb
- salt & pepper - just a sprinkle
- 1 tsp. mustard caviar - with pickle juice
- 12 dry or fresh pansies
- 12 cilantro or parsley leaves - optional for garnish
Instructions
- Add 6 large eggs to a pot of cool water, just covering the eggs, then place them on the stove and boil them for 20 minutes over MEDIUM-HIGH heat. After 20 minutes, place them in a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cool, remove the shells by carefully tapping around the center, peeling and slicing them in half.
- Remove the yolks by gently sliding them out. Set whites aside. Push yolks through a mesh strainer into a mixing bowl. This will break up the yolks and ensure that your filling is perfectly smooth when you mix in your other ingredients.
- Add 1 tbsp. mayonnaise, 1 tsp. spicy brown mustard, 1 tbsp. Boursin and a sprinkle of salt & pepper to the bowl with yolks. You want the texture of your filling to be like creamy hummus, so if it appears on the dry side, give it a taste, and see if it could use a little more mayo or mustard to make it more creamy. Spoon it into a pastry piping bag with a pretty tip.
- Fill each egg with filling and top each with 1 pansy, a tiny bit of mustard caviar and a leaf or two of parsley or cilantro (optional), and serve.
Notes
The measurements of mayo and mustard are purposely on the light side so you can customize your texture until perfect. Your consistency should be similar to hummus so give it a taste, and see which condiment you would like to make it a bit more creamy.
To prevent eggs from sliding around the plate, slice eggs through the center with the egg standing up, then slice a tiny bit off the bottom to make a nice, flat base. You can also add a tiny bit of filling underneath the egg whites on the plate, and use it as a little “glue” to hold them in place if you really want to make them extra secure.
You can make deviled eggs a whole day ahead of time, but you’ll just want to fill them shortly before your party. If you want to make them ahead of time, I suggest slicing your eggs, then placing them in a sealed container in the fridge. Then, make your filling and add it to a bag (or pastry piping bag). Seal it with twisty-ties and don’t fill the egg whites until just before guests arrive.
Mustard caviar takes a full 7 days to make, so give yourself the time.
