Oh and before I forget, I want to thank my friend Karen LoBue who asked at Easter if I had any deviled egg recipes on my site, and I said, "Ah no!" And I was sort of like why the heck don't I?!
So here you go, Karen, this one is for you! Your deviled eggs were so delish at Easter, you inspired me to make one for the holidays! Thank you...
Lets Make Them
- Hard Boil Eggs: Boil, Instant Pot, or Steam method.
- Peel and slice the boiled eggs in half.
- PRO TIP: Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out!
- In a bowl, add the yolks, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper, rosemary, cream Fraiche' (or soft cream cheese).
- Mix until well combined with a hand mixer (this gets it creamy and fluffy), and load into a large zip log back fitted with a large star tip.
- Pipe the filling back into the boiled eggshells, and garnish with a few fresh pomegranate seeds and tiny sprigs of rosemary. Serve on a tray garnished with rosemary and pomegranate seeds.
Make-Ahead Tips:
- Boil the eggs, slice in half and keep covered on a tray.
- Fill your ziptop bag with piping tip and deviled egg filling.
- Cut your tiny rosemary garnish pieces and have your pomegranate seeds ready to go, then assemble in minutes right before your party on a beautiful white tray and garnish.
