Ingredients :
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika, chives, or parsley for garnish
- Toothpicks or small skewers
- A bouquet holder or a shallow vase
- Lettuce or parsley leaves for decoration
Préparations :
Hard-boiling the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot.
- Cover the eggs with cold water, making sure they’re submerged by at least an inch.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from the heat.
- Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes for large eggs (adjust timing for smaller or larger eggs).
- After the time has elapsed, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely.
- Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
Preparing the Filling:
- Gently remove the yolks from the halved eggs and place them in a separate bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they’re smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks.
- Mix until well combined and smooth. Adjust seasoning according to taste.
Assembling the Deviled Egg Bouquet:
- Prepare your bouquet holder or shallow vase by filling it with lettuce or parsley leaves to act as the base and hold the eggs in place.
- Spoon or pipe the egg yolk mixture into the egg white halves, filling them evenly.
- Arrange the filled egg halves in the bouquet holder or vase, creating a visually pleasing arrangement.
- Optionally, sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor.
- Once all the eggs are arranged, insert toothpicks or small skewers into the base of each egg half to create the appearance of a bouquet.
- Garnish the bouquet with fresh chives or parsley sprigs for an added touch of greenery.
