For a simplified way to whip up deviled eggs, try this lazy deviled eggs recipe! Deviled eggs are a style of stuffed eggs. They involve taking a peeled, hard-boiled egg, removing the yolk, adding ingredients to make a creamier filling, and then spooning the egg yolk mixture back into the white egg halves. This adds a touch of richness and zing to your eggs! While eggs are often a breakfast food, deviled eggs are traditionally enjoyed as a side dish or appetizer. They’re savory, satisfying, and easier to make than they seem!They’re called deviled eggs because the word ‘deviled’ has traditionally been used with zesty or spicy foods. The deviled egg filling traditionally includes pepper and mustard, which adds a kick of heat! They are not spicy, though—just tasty!
Ingredients: Eggs, bacon, onions, mayonnaise, grated cheddar cheese, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, sea salt and pepper To garnish: Sliced green onions and paprika.
Boiling eggs: You don’t want runny yolks for this recipe, but you also don’t want to overcook them! Boil your eggs for 8 minutes then put them in ice cold water to shock them, stopping the cooking process. Chill your eggs: After you’ve hard boiled them, you’ll want to chill them. This makes them easier to work with, and they also taste best! Spoon: Sometimes the filling for deviled eggs can be piped into the egg white. But because of the bacon, cheese, and onions in this recipe, it is best to use a small spoon to transfer the filling. Slice with care: Use a sharp knife to slice your eggs cleanly, and wipe your knife clean between eggs. This ensures neat slices rather than choppy ones. Peel easy: Take your chilled boiled egg and gently tap it on your counter, rolling it over so the cracks form over the whole shell. You can then remove the shell easily, or pop it back in water for a minute so the water gets under the shell, making it slide off easier. Farm-fresh eggs: If you’ve grabbed a fresh dozen eggs from the farmer’s markets, store those treasures pointy-side down in the fridge. This positioning helps the yolks stay centered, preventing them from settling at the bottom of the egg over time as the yolk is heavier.
Dill pickle: Add dill pickle juice and garnish with chopped dill Devil’s in the details: Revisit the reason why these eggs are called deviled, and bring a kick of heat! Our favorite way is to add jalapeño for jalapeño bacon deviled eggs. You can also add some drops of tabasco or hot sauce, either on top or in the yolk mixture. Spice rack: Add paprika to your yolk mix, or play with mustard powder, black pepper, cayenne, or a pinch of cumin. Avocado: Add mashed avocado to the yolk mixture for a nutritious and creamy twist. Seasoning: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top for a savory and crunchy finish. Toppings: Try other toppings. Our top pick would be capers, but you can also try chopped olives, chopped fresh chives, roasted red peppers, or sliced radishes.
