| Yield: 24 deviled egg halves | Portion Size: 2 halves |
| Prep Time: 15 mins | Assembly Time: 15 Mins | Total Time: 30 mins |
Ingredients:
- 1 Dozen Eggs
- 3 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 Tsp Horseradish
- 1 Tsp White Vinegar
- 1 Tsp of The Bearded Butcher Original Seasoning Blend
Garnishes:
- Chives & Bacon
- Smoked Salmon & Dill
Instructions:
- To make these deviled eggs, start with a dozen eggs and gently submerge them into a pot of water, making sure they are fully covered. Bring the water to a simmer over medium heat, and once the eggs reach a steady simmer, set a timer for 10–12 minutes depending on whether you prefer a slightly fudgy or fully firm yolk.
- After cooking, remove the eggs and lightly crack the shells before placing them into an ice water bath to cool rapidly. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully and rinse them to remove any remaining shell fragments. Place the peeled eggs on a cutting board, slice each one in half lengthwise, and gently scoop out the yolks into a bowl while arranging the whites neatly on a tray.
- To prepare the filling, add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of horseradish, 1 teaspoon of White Vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of The Bearded Butcher Original Seasoning Blend to the yolks. Mix everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the filling into a piping bag for a clean, professional look, or simply spoon it back into each egg white. Keep the deviled eggs chilled until ready to serve.
For an extra layer of flavor and presentation, finish the eggs with a light sprinkle of The Bearded Butcher Original Seasoning Blend and experiment with garnishes like crispy bacon and chives, or smoked salmon with fresh dill. These variations add both texture and a gourmet touch that guests will love. One way to truly elevate this recipe is by making your own homemade mayonnaise, which adds richness and a fresher taste to the filling.
In the end, deviled eggs are more than just a side dish, they’re a crowd favorite that brings people together. With their creamy texture, bold flavor, and customizable toppings, they’re guaranteed to stand out on any table. Whether you’re celebrating Easter or simply enjoying time with loved ones, this recipe is one you’ll come back to again and again.
Interested in Making Homemade Mayonnaise?
Homemade mayonnaise is a simple yet a great addition to your kitchen that can elevate everything from sandwiches to salads, and especially recipes like deviled eggs. Its rich, fresh flavor and creamy texture make it far superior to store-bought versions, and it’s surprisingly easy to make with just a few ingredients. Whether you’re preparing for a holiday gathering or just want to upgrade your everyday cooking, this homemade mayo is a versatile staple worth mastering.
To make this homemade mayonnaise, combine one pasteurized egg with oil, using a blend of avocado oil and olive oil for the best balance of flavor and texture. When creating the emulsion between the egg and oil, use an immersion blender or a food processor. If using a food processor, place the egg into the well, then begin blending while slowly drizzling the oil into the well in a steady, controlled stream. This gradual incorporation is key to forming a stable emulsion that results in a thick, creamy product. Avoid adding the oil too quickly, as this can cause the mixture to separate and become runny instead of smooth. Once you’ve reached your desired consistency, add the juice of half a lemon, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and a light sprinkle of The Bearded Butcher Original Seasoning Blend. Blend again briefly, then taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
All in all, homemade mayonnaise is a small detail that makes a big impact. Its fresh taste and silky consistency can take your dishes to the next level, and once you’ve made it yourself, it’s hard to go back to anything else. Keep it refrigerated and use it within a few days for the best quality, and enjoy the difference it brings to your cooking.
