Satan’s Eggs

So it all started, on a BadWolf TurkeyFest, with a comment from my “Loyal Opposition”, that my deviled eggs were “Wimpy, Bland, Tasteless.” … We all know where this went and fast…

For the less psychotic, one can forgo the extra special hidden surprise, and generate a very passable set of deviled eggs, one can also find other additional fillings as well.

Just a off hand note, I did dust some of these with paprika, and some with powdered habanero. Other garnishes can be fine minced chives, pickled jalapenos, or just left plain. One can also replace the mayonnaise with a creamy horseradish sauce.

From Wikipedia:

Deviled eggs (American English) or devilled eggs (British English), also known as stuffed eggs, Russian eggs, or dressed eggs, are hard-boiled eggs that have been shelled, cut in half, and filled with a paste made from the egg yolks mixed with other ingredients such as mayonnaise and mustard.They are generally served cold as a side dish, appetizer or a main course, often for holidays or parties. The dish’s origin can be seen in recipes for boiled, seasoned eggs as far back as ancient Rome, where they were traditionally served as a first course. The dish is popular in Europe and in North America.

Cooled hard-boiled eggs are peeled and halved lengthwise, with the yolks then removed. (They can be cut crosswise for more filling). The yolk matter is then mashed and mixed with a variety of other ingredients. The classic recipe is made with egg yolks mashed with mayonnaise, dijon mustard, vinegar, pickle relish and salt and pepper. The yolk mixture is then scooped into each egg “cup” made from the firm egg whites.

Ingredient choices vary widely and there is no “set” standard recipe. Although mayonnaise is most common, some recipes use butter, and sweet pickle relish sometimes replaces the sour pickles.

Notes

These are a rather “devilish” appetizer. 

If one ignores the psychotic bend to this dish and focuses on the basics, one has a very good / basic deviled egg recipe.

The variations are almost endless.  (one favorite is to go heavy on horseradish in the filling, and garnish with a bit of smoked salmon).

As in all things, adapt, adjust, enjoy, and explore the world that is food.
