A Flavorful Twist on Classic Deviled Eggs, Perfect for Appetizers or Snacking
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120g) mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp (15g) Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp (3g) curry powder
- 2 tbsp (30g) sweet pickle relish
- 1/4 cup (15g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp (0.5g) black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Paprika, for garnishing
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring that the water level is at least an inch (2.5 cm) above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit, covered, for 12 minutes.
- Carefully drain the hot water from the saucepan and immediately fill it with cold water and a few ice cubes to stop the cooking process. Allow the eggs to cool in the ice bath for a few minutes, then peel them under running cold water to help remove the shells more easily.
- Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg white halves on a plate or deviled egg tray.
- To the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, curry powder, sweet pickle relish, half of the finely chopped parsley, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mash the yolks and mix the ingredients together until the filling is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
- Use a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip to fill the egg white halves with the curried yolk mixture, dividing the filling evenly among the egg halves.
- Lightly sprinkle the filled deviled eggs with paprika and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
- Cover the deviled eggs with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve the Curried Deviled Eggs with Pickle Relish and Parsley chilled as a delicious appetizer or snack.
