Ingredients
Deviled Eggs
- 6 boiled eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (can substitute with yellow mustard or brown mustard)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche (or substitute with soft cream cheese or sour cream)
- 1 teaspoon fresh finely chopped rosemary
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
Garnish Decoration
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
- Sprigs of fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Boil and Peel the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Cool the eggs under cold running water and carefully peel off the shells.
- Prepare Egg Yolks: Slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them into a mixing bowl, setting the whites aside on a serving plate.
- Mix the Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, creme fraiche, finely chopped rosemary, sea salt, and ground pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, evenly fill the hollowed egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top of the filled eggs for a pop of color and freshness. Add sprigs of fresh rosemary as a decorative touch. Serve chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute Dijon mustard with yellow or brown mustard depending on your taste preference.
- For a lighter option, use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise and creme fraiche.
- Ensure eggs are fully cooled and peeled cleanly for best presentation.
- Pomegranate seeds add a burst of sweetness and vibrant color but can be omitted if unavailable.
- These deviled eggs can be prepared up to a day in advance and refrigerated until serving.
