Tarragon Deviled Eggs Recipes

TARRAGON DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a small saucepot. Add cold water to cover by about 1-inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-low heat, then turn off the heat, cover and let sit for about 12 minutes.
• Cool the eggs down in cold water, then peel and split lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a bowl and reserve the whites. Using a fork, mash the yolks with salt, pepper, to taste, and Dijon until smooth. Add the shallot, gherkins, brine and tarragon and stir to combine. If too thick, add a teaspoon more of gherkin brine liquid. Spoon into a resealable plastic bag and cut off a corner. Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Top each half with a tarragon leaf. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.

TARRAGON-HONEY MUSTARD DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Peel hard-boiled eggs, cut in half lengthwise, and spoon out the yolks. Place the whites cut-side up on a plate, and place the yolks in a small bowl.
• Mash yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, honey mustard, and lemon juice; beat until smooth and fluffy. Using a mini food blender or processor works great for this step, making the filling smooth, creamy, and lump free. Mix in minced tarragon, onion, salt, and pepper.
• Evenly spoon the filling into the egg whites with a teaspoon. Use a piping bag or a small plastic sandwich bag with a corner snipped off if you prefer a more decorative look.
• Garnish deviled eggs with tarragon leaves, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

DEVILED EGGS WITH FRESH TARRAGON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Boil the eggs, shell and cut in half lengthwise.
• In a small bowl mash the eggs yolks with a fork. Mix in the olive oil, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
• Stir in the celery, fresh tarragon, capers and the shallots.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide and spoon the mixture into the egg halves. Garnish each egg half with 1 or 2 slices of celery.
• If not eating immediately, cover well and refrigerate.
