Flavor Variations To Try

  • For a global-inspired approach, consider Mediterranean influences with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and feta, or venture to Asia with wasabi, pickled ginger, and a soy sauce reduction.
  • Seasonal adaptations provide another avenue for creativity – spring eggs might feature fresh herbs and edible flowers, while autumn versions could incorporate sage, brown butter, and crispy prosciutto.
  • Luxury ingredients elevate these humble eggs to extraordinary heights; consider folding in truffle oil, caviar, or smoked salmon for special occasions.
  • Those seeking bold flavor contrasts might experiment with unexpected pairings like sweet-hot combinations (honey and chili) or savory-tangy profiles (caramelized onion and aged balsamic).

Ingredients Needed

  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tsp. mango mustard
  • 2-3 tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove
  • salt to taste
  • 1 red cabbage leaf
  • 3 radishes
  • 1/2 cucumber

How to Make These Elevated Deviled Eggs

Place the eggs at room temperature in a saucepan. Fill them with water and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes from the boiling point.

Transfer the eggs to ice water and peel them. Cut the eggs in half and trim the bases with the halves for stability. We always use one extra egg to make enough filling. Out of 5 eggs, we ended up with 8 egg halves.
