Southern Deviled Eggs

What makes Deviled Eggs so appealing?  Well, here at Our Southern Odyssey we think deviled eggs make a great appetizer, as well as a great finger food, and last but not least they are extremely easy to transport.  So the next time you need to take a dish to church or a party, deviled eggs are a great option. When it comes to styling the deviled eggs you can make them as fancy or simple as you want.  If you are in a hurry and don’t have time just dollop the yolk mixture into the center of the egg white half.  Just make sure that you have the same amount of egg yolk mixture in each egg white half.  If you would like to make the deviled eggs a little more fancy, use a large piping tip for decorating a cake, then, pipe the egg yolk mixture into the center of the half egg white.

In the featured photograph of the finished deviled eggs we used a No. 199 Open Star piping tip.  What is great about the Open Star piping tip is the light ridges that it gives.  You can use any large Open Star piping tip.  You could also use a Round decorating tip if you did not want the light ridges.  Decorating tips or piping tips are not just used for icing a cake, cupcake or cookies.  Also, adding turmeric as a garnish gives the deviled eggs a bit of color as well as a unique flavor. We love to make deviled eggs, when we are taking a covered dish to an event or when we are traveling and decided to take our lunch with us.

This is the way that we make our Southern Deviled Eggs. You don’t have to have a lot of ingredients to make this recipe taste delicious. To start you will need to follow the instructions for the hard-cooked eggs that you can find on our site.  After you have your hard-cooked eggs done, you will need to remove the yolks and put them into a small bowl and break the yolks apart. As you are removing the egg yolks from the egg whites place the egg whites on a tray and set them aside.  Now back to those yolks, you don’t want the egg yolks to be in large chunks. You want them to be as fine as possible, it will make filling the egg whites easier and all the flavors will blend together better.  So take your fork and flake each yolk until it is in tiny pieces.  Now set the egg yolks to the side. We will get back to them in a little bit.

Take this time now to get out your cutting board and chop the celery, olives and onion.  Again remember you want the celery, olives and onions to be as thin and small as possible.  Refer to the image, as a guide line, for how thin to chop them.  After you have them chopped add them to the egg yolks. The onions give the eggs a little bit of heat and the celery gives the deviled eggs some crunch and refreshing taste. The olives are a bit meatier and a little bitter but goes well with deviled eggs.

Now measure out all the dry ingredients and put them into the egg yolk bowl. Next add the stone ground brown mustard and mayonnaise and began mixing all the ingredients together. Make sure that all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Next either with a spoon or piping tip start filling the egg whites with the mixture, making sure that all the egg whites have the same amount of egg yolk mixture in them. When finished, before serving, garnish with dried powdered turmeric and fresh parsley.

Now you have a great beautifully delicious dish to take to a get-together or to have at your own dinner table. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
