Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Description
The preparation involves halving peeled, hard-boiled eggs and carefully removing the yolks. The yolks are mixed with Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, flaked smoked salmon, minced shallot, Tabasco sauce, and lemon juice until creamy and well combined. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, this mixture creates a flavorful filling that contrasts with the firm, neutral egg whites. After filling the egg whites with the yolk mixture, a dusting of smoked or sweet paprika adds color and a mild smoky note. An optional garnish of salmon caviar can provide additional luxury and a salty burst.
These deviled eggs serve well as an appetizer or party snack, offering a balance of creamy, smoky, and slightly spicy tastes. Older eggs are recommended for easier peeling. Cracking egg bottoms under cold water after boiling can aid peeling, as can peeling submerged in water.
Ingredients
- 8 egg peeled, hard-boiled
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 ounces smoked salmon flaked
- 1 tablespoon shallot minced
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- paprika smoked or sweet, for garnish
- 1 ounce caviar (optional)
Instructions
- Slice the boiled eggs lengthwise and pop out the yolks. Mix the yolks with the mustard, mayo, smoked salmon, shallot, Tabasco and lemon juice and mash into a paste. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Spoon into the egg whites and dust with the paprika. Garnish with salmon caviar.
Notes
- Use older eggs to make peeling after boiling easier.
- Cracking the egg bottoms after cooling and peeling them under water helps prevent shell sticking and eases peeling.
