This is my take on deviled eggs. I decided to add some seafood flavors to a classic.
ingredients
12 large eggs
2 tablespoons (30ml) mayonnaise
1 tablespoon (15ml) Dijon mustard
Up to 1 tablespoon (15ml) white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon (3ml) Frank's RedHot sauce
2 tablespoons horseradish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 strips maple bacon
trout roe as needed
green onions as needed
seared scallops as needed
5 stalks asparagus cooked in bacon fat (sliced and rendered)
Crushed red pepper or hot paprika
Crunchy sea salt, such as Maldon
Directions
Add 1 tray of ice cubes to a large bowl and fill with water. Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water. Place steamer insert inside, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add eggs to steamer basket, cover, and continue cooking over high heat for 12 minutes. Immediately place eggs in bowl of ice water and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before peeling under cool running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Place all yolks in the bowl of a food processor. Select 16 of the best-looking egg white halves and set aside; reserve remaining 8 for another use. Add mayonnaise, mustard, 1/2 tablespoon (7ml) vinegar, 2 tablespoons horseraddish and hot sauce to food processor and process until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
With machine running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil. Season mixture to taste with salt and remaining vinegar (if desired). Transfer to a zipper-lock bag. Filling and egg white halves can be stored in the refrigerator up to overnight before eggs are filled and served.
Cut off a corner of zipper-lock bag and pipe filling mixture into egg whites, over stuffing each. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper, green onions, crushed red pepper or paprika, and sea salt. Serve immediately.
