For the 4th of July, we did not do any barbecue this year especially since we had lots of food we prepared in the refrigerator (we tend to cook more than we can eat). Instead, my wife wanted to make deviled eggs. We had already made potato salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw so we decided to have these instead of our usual barbecue. This time my wife made two interesting variations on deviled eggs. Again, I made guacamole. Having guacamole is very convenient since a glob of it on the plate under the deviled egg makes a base so the eggs won't slide around on the plate and, of course, it provides additional flavors.
This is a new one. The egg white was breaded and deep fried.
This is the classic.
MY wife came up with this one by mixing in salmon salad.
Ingredients :
#1 with deep fried egg white
2 tbs of Greek yogurt
1 tbs mayonnaise
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard
a sprinkle of onion salt to taste
Sriracha hot sauce to taste
Oil cured olive for garnish
Hard boil the eggs. Peel, cut in half and remove the yolks. Dredge the egg whites in flour, egg water, and panko and fry (See picture below). Mix all the ingredients listed above into the mashed egg yolk, then put mixture back into fried egg whites.
#2 The classic
2 tbs of Greek yogurt
1 tbs mayonnaise
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp mustard
a sprinkle of onion salt to taste
stuffed olive for garnish
Hard boil the eggs. Peel, cut in half and remove the yolks. Lightly season all the egg whites with salt. Mix all the ingredients listed above into the mashed egg yolk, then put mixture back into egg white.
#3 with salmon salad.
Flaked cooked leftover salmon (about 1/3 lb).
Celery finely diced, 2 stalks
Vidalia onion (small, half) finely diced
Mayonnaise (2 tbs)
Greek yogurt (2 tbs)
Dijon mustard (1 tsp),
Fresh dill, finely chopped, 2 tbs
lemon juice (1 tsp), salt and pepper.
(mix the above, I made this few days ago. My wife took whatever amount appropriate for this deviled eggs)
Hard boil the eggs. Peel, cut in half and remove the yolks. Lightly season all the egg whites with salt. Mix all the ingredients listed above into the mashed egg yolk, then put mixture back into egg white.
All three types of deviled eggs were good. We really liked them. The one with breaded and fried egg white was very unique. The frying gave and interesting flavor and texture. If they are served soon after coming out of the fryer they are a bit crispy. Otherwise the fried breading gives a nice dimension to the flavor profile. These deviled eggs are perfect for starting the evening.
