Slightly Different Deviled Eggs

Classic deviled egg recipes seem mostly designed to hide their main ingredient. If I've got a good batch of eggs, adding a bunch of mayo and pickles doesn't really do them justice. This recipe is still a work in progress. I'll make some adjustments over time. If you give it a try, you should feel free to adjust the ingredient amounts to your liking.

Ingredients

30 mins
24 servings
  1. 1 dozeneggs
  2. 2 tbspcapers
  3. Juice of 1 lemon
  4. 1 tbspfresh ground pepper
  5. 1 tspsalt

Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Get a steamer goin strong. Make sure it's big enough to accommodate all of your eggs.

  2. 2

    When you've got plenty of steam going, arrange your eggs inside and set a timer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Get a bow of ice water ready.

  4. 4

    At the 10 minute alarm, move your eggs to the ice water. You can clean up your steamer and put it away while you're waiting for the eggs to cool.

  5. 5

    Add about 1/2 inch of water to a large mason jar. When your eggs are cool, place them, 2-3 at a time in the jar, cap it off, and shake it gently to crush the shells. Work through your whole batch of eggs.

  6. 6

    Now carefully peel and rinse your eggs. This is always a craps shoot. There are a million tricks out there for making perfect, easy-to-peel hard boiled eggs. Some of them work... Some of the time... I think it's mostly got to do with luck and care. I do think steaming helps, and shocking them in ice water, but no guarantee.

  7. 7

    Now you've got the 12 perfectly cooked, perfectly peeled hard boiled eggs, right? Slice each in half lengthwise and pop the yolks out into a bowl.

  8. 8

    Add the remaining ingredients to the yolks and mix with a fork. You just want to break up the yolks and disperse the ingredients evenly. The mix should stay kinda chunky.

  9. 9

    Make any seasoning adjustments you need, then spoon a bit of this mix into each egg white. Add a little sprinkle of smoked paprika and send 'em out.
