Alternative Method: Baked Turmeric Deviled Eggs

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Paprika and fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

• Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes.
• Ice Bath: Carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool rapidly. Let them sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes.
• Peel the Eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then roll it between your hands to loosen the shell. Peel the eggs under running water to make it easier and to remove any small shell fragments.
• Halve the Eggs: Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
• Prepare the Filling: To the bowl with the yolks, add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ground turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mash and mix everything together until smooth and well combined.
• Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag with a star tip, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
• Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled egg halves on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until they start to turn golden.
• Garnish: Remove the baked deviled eggs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley.
• Serve: Arrange your baked Turmeric Deviled Eggs on a serving platter and enjoy!

Tips for making Turmeric Deviled Eggs

Cooking Tips

• Perfectly Boiled Eggs: Start with room temperature eggs to prevent cracking while boiling. Always begin with cold water when boiling eggs, bring it to a gentle boil, and then simmer. After boiling, plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
• Creamy Yolks: For smooth and creamy yolks, make sure to mash them thoroughly and combine them with the other ingredients while they are at room temperature. This ensures a consistent texture in your filling.
• Balancing Spices: Turmeric adds a warm, earthy flavor with a hint of bitterness. Adjust the amount to your preference, but don’t overpower the dish. Taste as you go to achieve the desired flavor profile.
• Piping for Presentation: To create a visually appealing dish, use a piping bag with a decorative tip to fill the egg whites. It adds an elegant touch and makes your deviled eggs look irresistible.
• Chill Before Serving: Allow your Turmeric Deviled Eggs to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This not only enhances the flavors but also improves the texture.

Serving Suggestions

• Fresh Herbs: Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like chives, dill, or cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
• Sliced Avocado: Serve your deviled eggs on a bed of thinly sliced ripe avocado for a creamy and complementary texture.
• Smoked Paprika: A sprinkle of smoked paprika adds a smoky depth to the dish and enhances the turmeric’s warm flavor.
• Crispy Bacon: Top each deviled egg with a small piece of crispy bacon for a delightful contrast in texture and flavor.
• Side Salad: Accompany your Turmeric Deviled Eggs with a simple side salad of mixed greens dressed with a light vinaigrette.
• Beverage Pairing: These deviled eggs pair wonderfully with a glass of crisp white wine, sparkling water with lemon, or a classic mimosa.
