Four-Pepper Deviled Eggs
This recipe elevates classic deviled eggs with a unique blend of four different peppercorns. The yolks are mixed with ground pepper, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a touch of caper liquid for a complex, piquant flavour. After piping the filling back into the egg whites, they are finished with a garnish of coarsely ground pink peppercorns. A final chill allows the flavours to meld beautifully.
Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, cooled and peeled
- 1/2-1 teaspoon whole pink peppercorns, divided
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon whole white peppercorns
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon whole green peppercorn
- 1/2 teaspoon caper liquid
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch sugar
Method
- Cut each egg in half lengthways. Transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl and set the whites aside on a plate.
- Grind most of the peppercorns in a spice grinder, reserving 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of the pink ones. Add the ground pepper, caper liquid, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and sugar to the yolks and mash with a fork until smooth.
- Spoon the yolk mixture into a plastic bag, snip off a corner, and pipe it evenly into the reserved egg white halves.
- Coarsely grind the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of pink peppercorns and sprinkle them over the filled eggs for garnish.
- Refrigerate the eggs for at least 1 hour before you plan to serve them.
