Of course, everyone already knows how to make Deviled Eggs. Why would you possibly need a recipe? The truth is that most of us need a recipe, or at least some new techniques. In fact, it’s possible (or probable) that this should have been a pantry tips/ let’s fix it post. Because everyone knows how to hard-boil an egg intuitively, that means that lots of us don’t know how to do it well. If you don’t know Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything, you’re in for a treat, because his column and book are all about technique. In fact, Deviled Eggs are an example of a food I thought I didn’t like but actually just hadn’t eaten it cooked correctly until very late in life because I can’t stand the taste of over cooked hard boiled eggs. Mark Bittman’s egg cooking techniques are life altering, at least for people like me. I recommend you watch this video. Cooking the eggs properly will update this old school dish in a new school way. And after you know how to boil eggs to your liking, the sky is the limit in terms of making Deviled Eggs. I like them to be a little spicy, with plenty of mustard and lots of richness and fresh herbs. But this is just a baseline for Deviled Eggs; be sure to experiment so that you know how you like them best. Because Deviled Eggs are such a classic, they’re perfect for picnics, BBQs, Madmen Parties, and Kentucky Derby parties to name a few.

Does this look wrong?

Ingredients

1. 6 eggs
2. 2 teaspoons hot sauce
3. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4. 4 tablespoons sour cream (full fat is really delicious, but unnecessary)
5. 2 tablespoons mascarpone or cream cheese
6. ½ pickle spear (I used a spicy sour dill pickle- it was awesome)
7. leaves from two stalks of tarragon
8. salt

Instructions

1. Boil the eggs for no more that 12 minutes! then submerged into an ice bath to stop the cooking. I prefer closer to 10 minutes, FYI. You have to figure out your own ideal cooking time.
2. Peel the eggs.
3. Cut them in half lengthwise.
4. Food process until really smooth and creamy: the yolks, hot sauce, Dijon, sour cream, pickle, tarragon and salt. If you made the green goddess dressing, a tablespoon or two of that is also an excellent route in place of the sour cream and herbs.
5. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites. Garnish with paprika and tarragon. Enjoy.
