Christmas Stuffed (Deviled) Eggs Recipe
By Tiffany Boakye-KorsahIngredients
- - 6 large eggs
- - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- - 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
- - 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- - 2 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- - Salt and black pepper to taste
- - 1 tablespoon finely diced red bell pepper (for garnish)
- - Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes for perfectly hard-boiled eggs. Remove from heat and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice-cold water to stop the cooking. Let them cool for about 30 minutes.
Peel and prepare the Eggs: Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks with a spoon and transfer them to a small bowl.
Rewarm the yolks for a smoother filling: Lightly rewarm the yolks in the microwave for a few seconds—just enough to soften them. This helps the cheese melt beautifully and creates a silky, easy-to-pipe texture.
Mash and mix the filling: Use a spoon to mash the warmed yolks until smooth (a spoon gives a finer mash than a fork). Add the butter, hot pepper sauce, mayo, mustard, and cheese. Mix until the cheese melts into the mixture and everything is creamy and well combined.
Fill the egg whites: Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. Pipe the filling into the empty egg whites, squeezing gently to create a pretty swirl.
Garnish and serve: Finish each Christmas-inspired stuffed egg with a touch of finely diced bell pepper and a small sprig of fresh parsley for a festive pop of color and flavor. Keep chilled until serving.
