These are a tradition where i’m from and no party or family event is complete without them. I got inspired by something i saw on XHS and made these a bit differently than usual.
One thing that really helps to get clean egg edges is to never cut an egg with yolk on your knife. I can usually do 3 eggs between each wipe by using different sections of the knife each time.
pretty clean, these were for personal use so i wasn’t going as slow as i would for taking out somewhere. The broken ones in the top left get used as tasters.
this is the bit I learned from rednote/XHS. This was incredibly tedious.
it produced a very fine yolk though!
These are what i put in these boys, not my traditional ingredients I usually would use just Gulden’s spicy brown mustard, mayo, salt and pepper. Not pictured is smoked paprika that was dusted on top.
These ended up being the worst deviled eggs i have ever tasted. The Maille mustard is soooooo good but did not work in this recipe at all and the MSG was gross! I would never make deviled eggs like this again and don’t recommend it.
Nobody else minded though they were demolished with a quickness.
Thanks for reading!
Southern deviled eggs are a favorite of mine, if you’re looking for more variations to try.
For 6 eggs:
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp mustard
1-2 tbsp relish, or pickle chopped small if you have no relish
Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
😂 I once joined a cacophony society protest and my cause (for which i made a huge poster board sign) was PICKLES OUT OF DEVILED EGGS! NOW!
I am vehemently opposed, although i have relaxed my hardliner stance in my dotage and now just avoid them myself without judging (much)
I’m sure it’s good if you like that sort of thing though!
😂 I am similarly unenthused by deviled eggs without them! They taste fine, but have the mouth feel of being prechewed…
Texture is essential. I use some of both sweet and dill relish; the filling is greatly improved. And a razor-thin slice of jalapeno and a hearty piece of coarsely-chopped crispy bacon to each one.
Also my secret other ingredients. I make them every year for the family gathering and they get destroyed every time
i’ll tell you a secret, the ones pictured actually have pickles, if you zoom you can see 'em. Once I accepted i wasn’t going to be eating them I added them to try and fix the bad flavor from the mustard. I resent them so much i didn’t photograph them or include them in the description 😂. One of the folks that ate these said they were some of the best they have had so there’s really just no accounting for taste.
