Classic Deviled Eggs with Black Garlic Recipe Tips

  • Use Fresh Eggs: For the best texture, use fresh eggs that are not too old. Fresher eggs are easier to peel and provide a smoother filling.
  • Adjust the Black Garlic: Black garlic has a sweet, earthy flavor that can vary in intensity. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: To ensure a creamy and smooth filling, let your mayonnaise and mustard come to room temperature before mixing them with the egg yolks.
  • Make Ahead: You can make these deviled eggs a few hours ahead of time. Just cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Garnish Creatively: While paprika is a classic garnish, you can use other toppings like chives, parsley, or even a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flair.
  • Texture Matters: For the smoothest filling, mash the egg yolks thoroughly and whisk the mixture until completely smooth before filling the egg whites.

Storing

  • Refrigerating: Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the eggs to prevent them from drying out.
  • Freezing: Deviled eggs do not freeze well due to the mayonnaise and egg filling, which can change texture once thawed. It’s best to enjoy them fresh.
