- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper, to taste

- 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.

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.
