Tips
- If you do not consume pork, you can replace it with beef or other types of meat.
- If you don't have a special plastic piping bag with you, you can fill a teaspoon with the egg yolk mixture and place it into the hole in the egg white. The result may not be as neat, but with practice, it will be as pretty as using a piping bag. You can also cut the corners of the plastic sandwiches and use them like piping bags.
- Make sure the eggs are not too hot when you peel them. To do this, drain the hard-boiled eggs from the boiling water and then soak them in cold water. Leave it for a few minutes. Gently roll the egg to crack the shell. Put the cracked egg back into the cold water. This should make it easier to peel and prevent your hands from scalding. Dry the eggs on a paper towel.
- Those of you who like to keep things uniform might try this recipe by slicing the egg lengthwise or vertically (eggs standing up) instead of cutting horizontally into top and bottom halves: the result is a more stable, more uniform stand.
- Try mayonnaise, some dry or regular mustard, some lime juice, and some Tabasco sauce.
- Another easy garnish is peppers, which can add a bit of color with just a little movement of your fingers.
- Around Christmas, you can quickly make a festive deviled egg by topping with half the bell pepper and half the chopped parsley. Very colorful!
- Try topping it with powdered red sumac (a type of flower spice), which can be found at most Middle Eastern grocery stores.
- In the southern US, there is a tradition of adding a little sweet pickle sauce to the egg yolk mixture.
- Another traditional recipe includes removing the butter and mixing two teaspoons of mayonnaise and one teaspoon of mustard into the egg yolks, then dusting the finished product with paprika powder. The addition of sweet pickle sauce is optional.
- Another delicious addition to the basic deviled egg recipe is dill and dried lemon zest. Or, you can also use this as a sprinkle garnish.
- Fresh eggs tend to be more difficult to peel, which can mess up your deviled egg presentation if the peeling isn't neat. To get old eggs, you can:
- Buy eggs a few days before you plan to make deviled eggs
Buy eggs in places where stock or supplies are not quickly replaced because they run out, such as at a shop at a gas station.
- If you want the yolk and the hole to be right in the center of the egg white, rather than going downward, stand your egg carton or carton in the refrigerator for a day before boiling.
- If possible, use Javanese chicken eggs or chickens that are usually free to roam. The yolks from this chicken are richer/creamier and give the eggs a richer and stronger flavour.
- Egg yolks are high in cholesterol. While they are delicious, don't finish a plate of deviled eggs alone!
