Egg-cellent Deviled Eggs

Serves 8-10

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs, hard boiled, peeled & halved lengthwise
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • Coarse salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Aleia’s Coat & Crunch Crispy Spicy for garnish
  • Piping bag & star tip

Preparation

  1. Fill a large pot with one inch of water.
  2. Insert a steamer basket.
  3. Bring the water to a boil, over high heat.
  4. Gently add the eggs to the steamer basket in a single layer.
  5. Cover and steam for 17 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat.
  7. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool for at least 15 minutes.
  8. To peel, crack them softly starting at the larger end and gently rotating and tapping all around.
  9. Peel away the shell under cool running water.
  10. In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, & vinegar.
  11. Halve the eggs lengthwise.
  12. Carefully remove the yokes, leaving the whites intact.
  13. Add all the yokes to the mayonnaise mixture, season with salt & pepper and stir until creamy using a hand mixer or food processor.
  14. Fill using piping bag method below (you can also scoop the filling back into the eggs using a small spoon or add the filling to a zip top bag and snip one of the corners for piping).
  15. Fill the piping bag. Hold your piping bag loosely about halfway up, and with your other hand, fold back the top of the bag to form a large cuff.
  16. Using a spatula, scoop the egg mixture and place it into the pastry bag.
  17. Move the mixture all the way to the tip to eliminate any air bubbles. Squeeze until a few inches of the mixture push through the tip.
  18. Fill each egg white with a large dollop of the yolk mixture.
  19. Top each egg with Aleia’s Crispy Spicy Coat & Crunch. If possible, sprinkle the Coat & Crunch just before serving, so that they retain their crunchy texture.

Enjoy!

Tips

  1. Buy the eggs in advance.  Boiled farm-fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older eggs. If you want to make perfect hard-boiled eggs, it pays to buy them in advance and cook them after a few days in the fridge.
  2. Store the eggs upside down. For the yolks to land right in the center of the hard-boiled eggs, store the raw eggs upside down before you cook them for at least 24 hours.
