From the latest issue of Bon Appetit April 2006. We made this on the weekend but instead of stuffing the half egg slices, the mixture was mashed to make egg salad sandwiches! Just in time for Easter....

LEMON CAPER DEVILED EGGS



Lemon Caper Deviled Eggs image

I love deviled eggs. Love. I always say, "It's not a party at my house without deviled eggs." It's hard to beat the classic rendition, but every now and then I'll mix things up. I came up with this recipe for a dinner I cooked at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival, where I topped them with fried oysters. They're obviously delicious that way (anything fried, am I right?), but I like them just as well without the garnish. I've made them with lemon and capers so many times now, I have almost forgotten what they taste like plain!

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 24 deviled eggs

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 large eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small clove garlic, grated
Zest of 1 lemon
Paprika, for garnish
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. With a ladle, slowly lower the eggs into the water, one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain. When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
  • Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Arrange the whites, cut-side up, on a serving platter. Blitz the egg yolks by themselves for about 10 seconds. To the yolks, add the mayo, mustard, capers, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Process until well blended and smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  • Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, then use scissors to snip off the tip of one of the bottom corners to form a small hole. Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites or store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately in the fridge until ready to fill and serve, one to two days. Garnish the filled eggs with paprika and parsley and serve immediately.

⅓ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish, or to taste

Tips:

  • Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will have a less flavorful yolk and may not hold their shape as well when cooked.
  • Hard-boil the eggs perfectly. Overcooked eggs will have a dry, chalky yolk, while undercooked eggs may not be safe to eat. To ensure perfectly cooked eggs, place them in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then remove the pan from the heat and cover. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make sure the eggs are completely cool before peeling them. This will help to prevent the shells from sticking to the eggs.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half. This will help to get a clean cut and prevent the eggs from crumbling.
  • Scoop out the yolks carefully. Try not to break the yolks, as this will make them more difficult to mash.
  • Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth. You can also use a food processor to do this.
  • Add your desired ingredients to the mashed yolks. Some popular additions include mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. You can also add chopped herbs, such as chives, dill, or tarragon.
  • Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. You can use a piping bag to do this for a more elegant presentation.
  • Garnish the deviled eggs with any desired toppings. Some popular toppings include paprika, chopped bacon, or caviar.

Conclusion:

Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create deviled eggs that are both delicious and visually appealing. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give deviled eggs a try!
