Deviled Eggs With Creme Fraiche Recipes

DEVILED EGGS WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 30 seconds then remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water until cool. Carefully peel the eggs and halve each lengthwise. Carefully remove and reserve the yolks.
• Place the yolks in a food processor with the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, Dijon, paprika and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth, and then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
• Pipe the yolk mixture into the eggs. Top each egg with a scant teaspoon of the tobiko, a small dollop of creme fraiche and a piece of chive.

THE PERFECT DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Place yolks in a medium bowl and set whites aside.
• Mash yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, relish, Dijon, yellow mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined and smooth. Transfer to a large zip-top bag.
• Arrange egg whites on a tray. Snip off the bottom corner of the zip-top bag. Fill each white with about 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons filling. Sprinkle with paprika.

LUXE TRUFFLE DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Set 20 egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate. This recipe uses 12 egg yolks, but only yields enough filling for 20 halves; reserve the extra 4 whites for another use.
• With a fork, mash the yolks to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, truffle oil, and salt, and mix until smooth. (You can also do this using an electric mixer with a whip attachment.) Taste and season accordingly.
• Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly.
• Top each egg half with a tiny sprinkle of black lava salt, a grind of fresh-cracked black pepper, and a chive flower, if using.

CLASSIC SAVORY DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Scoop egg yolks into a bowl and set egg whites aside. Mash yolks, mayonnaise, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon chopped dill, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Spoon yolk mixture into egg whites. Garnish with dill sprigs. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

DEVILED EGGS ON TOAST WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread bread squares evenly on a baking sheet. Bake until edges are lightly golden, 7 to 10 minutes, and set aside to cool.
• Peel eggs, and cut in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks, and reserve. Cut whites in half again lengthwise, and arrange quarters on toast squares at a diagonal.
• Using a stiff rubber spatula, push the yolks through a fine mesh sieve placed over a small bowl. Stir in creme fraiche, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
• Transfer yolk mixture into a medium-size pastry bag fitted with an open-star tip (Wilton No. 32). Pipe mixture into egg-white quarters, about 3/4 teaspoon for each quarter. Spoon a dab of caviar over piped yolks, and garnish with a chive.

DEVILED EGGS WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Place eggs in a small pan, and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook 9 minutes. Drain, and peel while still warm. Slice in half lengthwise; remove yolks, reserving whites on a serving platter.
• Place still-warm yolks in a small bowl, and mash with a fork. Add crème fraîche, mustard and finely sliced chives, and continue mashing until very smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne. Cut remaining chives into pieces 1/2 inch long.
• Using a pastry bag with a small ( 1/4 inch) round tip, pipe the mixture into the cavity of each white, filling it completely and making a small walnut-size mound above the white. At the picnic, spoon a little caviar on top of each egg and garnish with pieces of sliced chive.
