Tip for peeling hard-boiled eggs: After boiling, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for 14 minutes; this will help the shells come off easier.
Deviled Egg Wreath
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and halved
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp red onion, finely diced
- pinch of sea salt, or to taste
- fresh ground black pepper
- 3 cornichons, very finely diced
- 2 cups arugula
- smoked paprika
- fresh finely chopped parsley
- 32 thin and small pieces of red pepper
- fresh cranberries to fill the center of the wreath for decoration only.
Instructions
- After the eggs are hard-boiled and cooled, peel and slice them in half lengthwise, remove the yolks, and add them to a mixing bowl. Place 8 halves on one dish and the other 8 halves on another dish.
- Mash yolks to a fine crumb with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dion, red onion, salt, black pepper, and cornichons to the mixing bowl. Mix with a spoon until well combined. The mixture will be creamy.
- Spoon about a teaspoon of the egg mixture into each egg half on their separate plates. If you have a very small cookie scoop, this makes the job easier.
- On one of the plates with the 8 egg halves, sprinkle with smoked paprika. On the other plate with the other 8 halves, sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley.
- On a serving platter, arrange the arugula to resemble a wreath. Gently and alternating between the two different egg platters, arrange the deviled eggs. Place two thin, small pieces of red pepper on one of the ends to resemble horns.
Enjoy!!
