Steakhouse Deviled Eggs Recipes

DEVILED EGGS WITH CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, a pinch of cayenne and the cinnamon. Place the bacon on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle each slice of bacon with some of the spiced sugar and bake, about 10 minutes. Flip the bacon, sprinkle with the remaining spiced sugar and continue to cook until crispy, about 10 more minutes. Remove the bacon from the oven and allow to cool. When the bacon is cool, mince it and set aside, reserving a quarter of it for garnishing the eggs.
• Put the cold eggs in the bottom of a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let stand for 12 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water. Let the eggs cool a bit and then peel when they are still warm (eggs are much easier to peel when they are warm). After they are peeled, you can then store them, covered, in the fridge.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, dill, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, the scallions and the minced bacon in a medium mixing bowl. Season with the salt.
• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks by pressing your thumb against the back of the yolk to pop it out of the white. Add the yolks to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Mash together, using a fork, until smooth.
• Put the filling in a re-sealable bag. Cut one end off and pipe the filling into the egg whites. Sprinkle with the paprika, extra bacon bits and dill before serving.
• Cook's Notes: A wire rack is a great way to cook bacon because the air can circulate around the bacon making it crispy and delicious.
• Plastic bags are a great tool to use in place of a piping bag, easy and disposable.

STEAKHOUSE DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water by 2 inches. If you're using farm-fresh eggs, add 1 teaspoon baking soda to the water (see cook's note). Set the pan over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and let the eggs sit in the water for exactly 10 minutes.
• Pour off the hot water and cover the eggs with fresh cold water. Crack the eggs gently and return them to the cold water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs underwater.
• Slice each egg in half lengthwise and drop the cooked yolks into a medium mixing bowl. (Refrigerate the whites if making ahead.)
• With a rubber spatula or a wide wooden spoon, paddle the yolks until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and a pinch of salt, and stir until light and fluffy. Transfer the yolk mixture to a clean quart-size plastic bag. (Refrigerate if making ahead.)
• Cook the bacon until lightly crisp in a skillet set over medium heat, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet, reserving 2 tablespoons of the fat, and finely mince. Add the breadcrumbs to the pan, season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat, stirring, until they turn golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Combine the breadcrumbs with the bacon.
• Holding the nori sheet with tongs, toast it over an open flame (or if you have an electric stove, over a burner set on high) until it shines and becomes brittle, about 30 seconds. With scissors, cut the nori into a thick stack and then into tiny pieces, as small as the bacon. Add 1/3 cup of the nori to the bacon mixture.
• When you're ready to serve the eggs, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Arrange the egg white halves on an oven-safe platter. Push the filling to the bottom of its bag and snip a 1/2-inch opening in one of the bottom corners. Squeeze the yolk filling into the egg whites.
• Warm the eggs in the oven until the yolk mixture turns soft and luscious, about 5 minutes. Cover the eggs with a dense smattering of the bacon-nori crumbles, and serve.

STEAK AND CRAB DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium pot, add enough water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Peel them one at a time by filling a mason jar about 1/3 full with water, adding an egg, sealing the jar and shaking it until the shell is cracked. Remove the egg from the jar and carefully peel away the shell. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
• Meanwhile, slice the steak into 1/4-inch-thick strips and season it with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the steak and cook until cooked through and crispy on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board. Cool and finely chop the steak.
• Split the cooled eggs in half lengthwise using a damp cloth to wet your knife; clean the knife on the cloth after splitting each egg. Pop the yolks out into a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper to the yolks and whisk until smooth. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
• Set aside 1 tablespoon of the steak for garnishing the eggs; fold the rest of the steak and the crabmeat into the yolk mixture. Fill a disposable piping bag with the yolk mixture and snip off the end to create a large hole. Pipe the filling evenly into each of the egg white halves. Sprinkle herbs and the reserved steak on top of the filled eggs and serve.
