Deviled Eggs Three Ways Recipes

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a single layer in a wide saucepan, cover with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then carefully peel them.
• Dip a clean kitchen towel in a small bowl of warm water. Wipe the blade of your knife with the towel to warm it up and to wet the blade. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, one at a time, wiping the blade clean between each egg. (The warm, wet blade will give you clean cuts.) Remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a whisk. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until very smooth. Transfer to a large resealable plastic bag or disposable pastry bag and snip off one corner with scissors.
• Place the egg whites on a platter. Pipe the filling evenly into the egg whites. Top with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes prior to serving.

Steps:

• For the hard-boiled eggs: Fill a large, deep saucepan with a tight-fitting lid with 2 inches of cold water. Place the eggs in it and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately turn off the heat and cover with the lid. Let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water.
• Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place 4 yolks in each of 3 bowls. Mash well with a fork.
• Line a large serving platter with the greens.
• For the pickles and capers: Add the mayonnaise, chopped capers, mustard and gherkins to one of the bowls of yolks and mash together until thoroughly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among 8 egg halves. Top each with some capers and place on the platter.
• For the wasabi and ginger: Add the mayonnaise and wasabi to the second bowl of yolks and mash together. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among 8 egg halves. Top each with a slice of pickled ginger and a small piece of cucumber and place on the platter.
• For the sesame carrot: Add the mayonnaise, sesame oil, sesame seeds and carrot to the remaining bowl of yolks and mash together. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among the remaining 8 egg halves. Top each with more sesame seeds and place on the platter.
