Caesar Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

• 10 eggs (Pete & Gerry’s organic pasture-raised eggs; yolks used in filling and whites for serving)
• 30 g Parmesan (grated, for the filling)
• 3 anchovies
• 2 garlic (cloves, for the filling)
• 0.5 tsp mustard
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• salt (to taste, if needed for filling)
• chives (thinly sliced, for garnish)
• 35 g Parmesan (grated, for Parmesan crisps)
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 garlic (clove, grated, for breadcrumbs)
• 0.333 cup panko (breadcrumbs)
• salt (for the garlic breadcrumbs)
• 1 egg yolk (fresh; optional, only if the filling splits, to emulsify)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the eggs and boil for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Transfer the eggs to ice water and leave them until cool enough to handle. Peel them, cut each in half, and remove the yolks, keeping the whites intact for filling.

3. 3

   Put the cooked yolks in a food processor with the 30 g grated Parmesan, anchovies, 2 garlic cloves, mustard, and lemon juice. Pulse until combined.

4. 4

   Add the mayonnaise and pulse just until combined; avoid overmixing. Taste and season with salt if needed.

5. 5

   If the filling splits, add one fresh egg yolk and pulse until emulsified.

6. 6

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper.

7. 7

   Arrange the 35 g grated Parmesan in small piles on the prepared pan, leaving space between them. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until golden. Set aside and allow the crisps to cool and harden.

8. 8

   Heat the olive oil in a small pan.

9. 9

   Add the grated garlic and panko. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4–5 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are golden. Season with salt.

10. 10

    Pipe the filling into the egg-white halves. Top each with a piece of Parmesan crisp and a sprinkle of garlic breadcrumbs, then sprinkle with chives.

11. 11

    Pipe any leftover filling onto crostini or crackers.

Notes

The source does not specify an amount for salt or chives, or a quantity of crostini/crackers for serving. The optional fresh yolk is only used if the filling splits.
