The Timeless Appeal of Deviled Eggs

downtonabbeycooks · June 29, 2023 ·

Deviled eggs, the classic crowd-pleasing appetizer, never fail to satisfy taste buds with their creamy and tangy goodness. This timeless dish starts with perfectly hard-boiled eggs, then halved, and their yolks expertly mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and a hint of paprika for a delightful kick.

The result is a velvety filling piped back into the egg whites, creating a visually stunning presentation. Whether served at a picnic, potluck, or elegant dinner party, deviled eggs are a delicious and versatile treat that always leaves guests craving more.


The Versatile Deviled Egg

Deviled eggs are always found on Edwardian appetizer platters and you will often see them on camera when the Downton kitchen staff are preparing for large parties.

Instructions
 

  • You don’t need an deviled egg tray to serve eggs. You can make a bed of greens for them to nest in. I prefer to make a flat base for them and stand them on end. Using a sharp knife, slice a small piece off of either end of each egg, then slice each egg in half, width-wise.
  • Gently remove the yolk halves and place in a small mixing bowl.
  • Arrange the egg white halves on your serving platter.
  • Mash the yolks and add mustard, mayonnaise, onion, hot sauce, and a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
  • Spoon, or ideally, pipe the filling using a star tip, into each cavity. Garnish to your liking to add a decorative touch. Keep at, or just below room temperature.
  • If you want a real show stopper, make Marbled Tea eggs, the recipe which can be found in my book Abbey Cooks Entertain.

Notes

Try making deviled eggs with Marbled Tea eggs, from the recipe found in my book Abbey Cooks Entertain.
