DEVILED EGGS

perfectly boiled eggs: the first step in making the perfect eggs

The first step in making deviled eggs is to boil the eggs. While some people may argue over how long to boil them, it's important to consider the size of the eggs.

Large eggs typically need to be boiled for around 10-12 minutes, while extra-large eggs may need 14-16 minutes.

customizing your filling: endless variations to try

The next step is to prepare the filling for your eggs. This is where it gets fun! While the classic filling consists of mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar or lemon juice, there are endless variations to try. To make your filling unique, try adding different herbs, spices, or even bacon to the mix.

filling techniques: spoon vs piping bag and chunky vs smooth

Once the filling is prepared, it's time to fill the egg whites. Some people prefer to use a piping bag to create a polished look, while others simply use a spoon.

presentation is key: creative garnishes & serving ideas for deviled eggs

The final step is to garnish and serve! You can keep it simple with a sprinkle of paprika or chives, or get creative with toppings like fresh herbs or crumbled bacon. To make your presentation even more unique, try arranging the eggs in a circular pattern on a platter or serving them in individual egg cups.

One of my favorite parts about this recipe is the crispy cheese garnish!

how to make deviled eggs

1

Cut your hard boiled eggs in half vertically, & separate the yolks from the whites. Places the yolks in a bowl. Set the whites aside.

2

Add the cream cheese & mayo into the bowl with the egg yolks & mix until fully combined.

3

Add the cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, smoked paprika, salt, & pepper into the egg yolk mixture & mix until fully combined. Set mixture in fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.

4

While the filling is in the fridge, fry your pepper jack cheese. This is done simply by placing a slice of cheese into a nonstick pan on medium high until the cheese is golden! Flip & wait until other side is golden as well. When the cheese slices are done, wrap them in paper towels to absorb any access oils.

5

Once the 10 minutes is up, fill your egg white back up with your deviled egg mixture. I like to use a miniature ice cream scoop for this.

6

Garnish your eggs with chives, bacon bits, & a shard of fried cheese & serve! Place in fridge if you aren't serving immediately!
