3. Crispy Fried Deviled Eggs
I’ve never had fried deviled eggs before, so this was a nice treat for me. You’ll start with the traditional hard-boiled eggs, but after you put the filling back in, you’ll then:
- Pull out three shallow dishes
- Add flour to one, beaten eggs to another and panko breadcrumbs to another
- Dip your egg half into the flour
- Then into the egg
- Finally, into the breadcrumbs
Place your breaded eggs into a deep fryer or pot to cook until golden brown and crispy.
4. Beet-Dyed Deviled Eggs
How colorful are these? I wasn’t expecting to come across devil egg recipes that included beets, but here we are. You’ll need almost 18 hours (coloring) for this one, so it’s not something to make on a whim.
You’ll start by boiling the eggs and shocking them in ice.
Peel the eggs, add them into the colored beetroot water and cover them completely. Allow to sit for 8 – 18 hours, then take them out of the water and cut lengthwise. Add your yolk, mayo, lemon juice, spices, mustard and sour cream into a bowl.
Mix well and then pipe into the empty egg whites like normal.
5. Caviar Deviled Eggs
You’ll make your eggs like normal, but for the filling, you’ll mix the following ingredients together:
- Creme faiche
- Heavy cream
- Smoked paprika
- Himalayan salt
- Ground pepper
Use your piping bags to put the egg yolk back into the egg whites and top with caviar, chives, creme fraiche and cut potato chips.
6. Fancy Deviled Eggs with Roasted Red Bell Peppers
You’ll need your piping bag, a paring knife and a food processor for this recipe. And while you’ll hard-boil your eggs, you’ll then use your knife to cut a small sliver of the bottom off to stand the egg upright. Cut about one-third of the top of the egg off before removing the yolk.
In a food processor, add in your ingredients: shallot, jalapeno, roasted red bell pepper, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Process until the mixture is smooth. Pipe back into the egg white and then add any garnish you like, such as paprika and chives.
