What's your favorite ingredients for plain stuffed or deviled eggs?

Question

I like them plain with mayonnaise, a little salt & white pepper with, maybe, just a tiny pinch of cayenne. All that other stuff, minced onion, pickle relish, mustard, etc., just hides the flavor of the egg but curious what other cooks use to make their stuffed eggs special.

Answer 1

I love this recipe. It's beautiful and tastes really delicious. You put whole hard boiled eggs in a food processor or blender and the flavor is just wonderful. I use the optional dill, but that's it.

Deviled Eggs in Mini Phyllo Shells

2 packages of mini Phyllo Shells
6 hard boiled eggs, shelled
1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing

Optional Fillings
1/2 teaspoon dry dill
2 teaspoons horseradish

Optional Toppings
Chives
Paprika
minced ham
crumbled cooked bacon
strip of stuffed green olive

Place whole eggs (yolks and whites) in a food processor and puree. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (or pickle juice) and salt (and any of the optional ingredients). Fill 30 Mini Shells with the Deviled Eggs mixture, and garnish as desired with optional toppings. Makes 30 appetizers

Answer 2

Mustard, Mayo, Lemon Juice, Sweet Pickle Relish, topped with a little Paprika

Answer 3

I completely agree with you! Just a little mayo, salt and pepper works for me. If I want to get fancy I add in some cream cheese and garlic. I'm allergic to onions and I hate pickels so I can't eat the deviled eggs that most people make. I love making my own though!

Answer 4

I grew up eating it made w/ dry mustard, mayo & sweet pickle relish, salt & pepper. You get the taste of the white w/ the enhanced taste of the yolk. I still make it like this b/c it's reminiscent of home. :)

Answer 5

A Salt, Pepper and Ranch Dressing, Sorry but I think that is much better than Mayo. And I love mayo

Answer 6

Miracle Whip, Dijon mustard, a bit of dill relish. And my mom's secret...a capful of white vinegar. Then garnish with a green olive and paprika. (Although I use some black olives to make the platter pretty and for people who don't like green olives.)

Answer 7

I like them with just a little mayo, salt & pepper to taste and a shot of Paprika .. thats it

Answer 8

I used to do mine with mayo only also until a few months ago I found a delicious recipe! To the yolks I add neufshatel (sp?) cream cheese, a little mayo, a little sugar. It is devine and I won't go back to mayo alone anymore!
