Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that is easy to prep and serve at any event. They are perfect for brunch, dinner parties, holidays, or even as a snack on a lazy Saturday. This recipe adds a little twist to the classic with some caviar. Island Creek Oysters makes it easy to enjoy caviar with their transparent and mission-driven approach. We've created a simple base recipe that allows the caviar to be the star ingredient and included three ways to garnish the deviled eggs to add some extra flavor and texture.

 

How to Make
Deviled Eggs With Caviar

Ingredients

• 12 hard-boiled eggs (divided by 3)
• Island Creek Oysters First Class Caviar Flight
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise of choice divided
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• Fresh-squeezed lemon juice from one lemon divided
• 1/4 shallot diced
• Salt and pepper

Garnish

• Smoked salmon
• Fresh chives
• Fresh dill
• Microgreens
• Everything But The Bagel seasoning
• Paprika, to taste
• Cayenne pepper, to taste

Materials

• 1 stockpot
• 1 large mixing bowl (for ice bath)
• 2 regular bowls (for the fillings)
• 1 large spoon
• 1 large plate for serving
• 1 Chef knife

Instructions

1. Hard boil the eggs for 10 minutes, spoon out the eggs and put them in the prepared ice bath.
2. Peel the eggs and slice them in half, down the middle, to make 24 halves.
3. Scoop out the yolk of 16 halves and mash it together in a small bowl with two tablespoons of mayonnaise, dijon, and lemon juice (start with less lemon juice and add to taste and consistency). Season to taste with salt and pepper. Note: Use less salt than you would typically would, as the caviar will add additional saltiness.
4. Pipe or dollop the filling back into the holes in the egg halves.
5. Mix the remaining mayonnaise, lemon juice, and shallot, and add one dollop to the top of the remaining eggs with the yolks still intact.

Tips and Tricks

- You can batch out this recipe and scale it up or down depending on how many people you need to serve. You can also go with just one of the three ways or make all three at the same time. The nice thing about deviled eggs is that nothing is an exact science as long as you have the fundamentals down.

- Use scissors like these to snip small pieces of dill and chives for garish.

- You can use a food processor or blender for the fillings if you prefer a more smooth texture.

- Enjoy! -
