Spring Pea Deviled Eggs Recipes

MINTED PEA DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice water bath. Add peas to boiling water for 30 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peas and immediately transfer to ice water bath to stop cooking. Drain and transfer peas to a clean dish towel to dry. Finely chop peas and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Carefully add the eggs to the same pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to a low boil and let eggs cook 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. When eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them, then slice in half lengthwise and remove yolks. Finely chop egg yolks and add to bowl with peas.
• Stir in mayo, chopped mint and Dijon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Use two spoons or a piping bag to transfer mixture to cavities in egg whites. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.

DEVILED EGGS WITH PEAS AND HAM

Steps:

• With a slotted spoon, gently drop eggs into a medium saucepan of boiling water; reduce heat to medium-high and cook 10 minutes. Using the spoon, transfer eggs to an ice bath until cool. Return the saucepan to a boil, season the water with 1 tablespoon salt, and blanch peas until bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
• Peel and halve eggs lengthwise; remove yolks and transfer to the bowl of a food processor with peas, mayonnaise, mustard, 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt; puree until smooth. Spoon mixture into whites. Garnish with pancetta, pea shoots, and black pepper.

LEMON CAPER DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. With a ladle, slowly lower the eggs into the water, one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain. When they are cool enough to handle, peel the eggs.
• Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Arrange the whites, cut-side up, on a serving platter. Blitz the egg yolks by themselves for about 10 seconds. To the yolks, add the mayo, mustard, capers, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Process until well blended and smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
• Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, then use scissors to snip off the tip of one of the bottom corners to form a small hole. Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites or store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately in the fridge until ready to fill and serve, one to two days. Garnish the filled eggs with paprika and parsley and serve immediately.

PICNIC DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Halve the eggs lengthwise and pop the yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside, rounded side up on a plate. Mix the yolks with the mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth and light. Add the celery, pickle, parsley, and season with the salt and hot sauce.
• Spoon the yolk mixture back into the whites and sprinkle with paprika. Serve now or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

CLASSIC DEVILLED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a pan of just simmering water and cook for 10 mins. Turn off the heat, and leave the eggs to rest in the hot water for 2 mins. Drain, then transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice-cold water and leave to cool. Peel the eggs and slice in half, then scoop the yolks out into a bowl with the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, spring onions, celery salt and cayenne pepper. Mash everything together until smooth, then spoon into a piping bag fitted with a plain round nozzle.
• Pipe the mixture into the hollowed-out eggs, or carefully spoon into the middles using a small spoon. Sprinkle over some chives, if using, then serve.
