Here's a recipe for Truffled Deviled Eggs that brings a touch of elegance to a classic appetizer. Perfect for a cocktail party or a fancy brunch, these deviled eggs take things up a notch with a hint of truffle oil, adding a rich, earthy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the creamy filling.
Equipment
- piping bag optional
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons black truffle oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons chives, finely chopped, for garnish
- flaky sea salt, for finishing
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water until they are submerged by at least one inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Then turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for about 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for a few minutes or until cooled completely.
- Prepare the Eggs: Peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl.
- Make the Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, truffle oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped chives and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
Top Tips:
- Perfect Boil: Boil eggs for 12-14 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Smooth Filling: For an ultra-creamy filling, mash the yolks thoroughly before mixing in other ingredients.
- Adjust Truffle Flavor: Start with 2 teaspoons of truffle oil, then taste and add more if you want a stronger flavor.
- Garnish Just Before Serving: Add chives and flaky salt right before serving for the freshest taste and best presentation.
Leftovers and Storage:
- Store Leftovers: Keep deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Best Fresh: For the best texture and flavor, enjoy them fresh—though the truffle flavor can intensify if stored.
