Thanksgiving Deviled Eggs

These deviled eggs have a surprising spice that adds a delightful fall flavor: nutmeg. Not a typical deviled egg spice, which makes it just as interesting as delicious!

Equipment

  • 1½ quart pot to boil 6 eggs
  • cutting board and sharp knife
  • small mixing bowl
  • mesh strainer
  • pastry piping bag and tip

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp. mayo
  • 1 tsp. spicy brown mustard
  • 1 tsp. sour cream
  • ⅛ tsp. nutmeg
  • smoked paprika - just a sprinkle
  • salt & pepper - to taste
  • 1 tbsp. capers - for garnish
  • Japanese maple leaves - optional for garnish
US Customary - Metric

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 and peeling. Crack and peel very carefully so the egg is pristine and free of tears and dents.
  • Slice eggs in half and carefully remove the yolks. They’ll almost always slide out if you’re gentle, so you don’t have you use a spoon. You may sometimes have a little left over, but it’s easier and less damaging to the egg white to try sliding first. Set whites aside.
  • Push the yolks through a mesh strainer. This will break up the yolks and ensure that your filling is perfectly smooth when you mix in your other ingredients.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix your egg yolks, 1 tbsp. of mayo, 1 tsp. of mustard and 1 tsp. sour cream. Add ⅛ tsp. nutmeg, salt and pepper. When ready, fill your lovely deviled eggs, place a small maple leaf on the side, small capers around the edge and sprinkle with smoked paprika.

Notes

The measurements of mayo, sour cream and mustard are purposely on 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.
