Deviled Eggs - your favorite version, tips, and tricks?

Please. Don’t buy supermarket DEs for your cherry-poppin’ experience. Do yourself a favor and just make one (or two, in case you like them) yourself.

If you like egg salad, you’ll probably like deviled eggs — at core it’s just mayo added to the yolk.

What I really like is being able to control the texture of the white when you make hard boiled eggs yourself — tender vs firm or rubbery.

Same.

Do you not like eggs and/or flavored mayo/mustard/pickle mix?

I love egg salad, and especially the Japanese convenience store style egg salad. I use a sous vide for most of my eggs to avoid the rubbery white and dry yolks of hard boiled eggs. Maybe this will be a future project when eggs aren’t selling for the price of gold.

Even at present prices, I think they are reasonable for such a high protein item. They are so versatile and filling.

I saw regular large eggs were $5.98/doz for a brand I have not seen before at our Local Safeway yesterday. The Lucerne brand was $6.99/doz. I buy from a local egg rancher, now at $8/18 pack. I get all sizes from small through XL in one carton. Perfect for my needs. :chicken: I went through 2-18 packs this past week and am picking up more tomorrow. We made lots of deviled eggs, Hollandaise sauce and breakfast eggs for Easter. I remember the “Incredible, edible egg” ads from bitd. One of these days, I am going to pull out my psanky stuff and make some of those for special people.

Love all that actually. Just have never been to anywhere where deviled eggs were on offer. Except as you said those few restaurants that try to be trendy south down home and charge you $12 for 4 halves.

In reach! Now you have no excuse :joy:

It’s usually a relish

I also noticed they were part of a snack sampler at a different popular Mediterranean/Middle East restaurant last night. This is a trendy place and always packed (chef is a regional James Beard nominated chef) so devilled eggs are definitely not forgotten yet. This would be a great place to try them, but only offered in a sampler for two, and I was dining alone.

You’ll have to make your own & tell us all about it :slight_smile:

Yes
They’re so easy to make, you don’t have to get fancy about it.
Chill a bit before tasting
