Upscale Deviled Eggs - An elegant spin on classic deviled eggs made with mascarpone cheese, dijon mustard, and fresh dill. A great appetizer to serve for Easter or any other springtime party!
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs (cold)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a gently boil over medium-high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it aside.
- Add the cold eggs (straight from the fridge) to the pot and cook them for exactly 11 minutes.
- After 11 minutes, carefully remove each egg from the boiling water and place it in a bowl of ice water.
- Allow the eggs to sit in the ice water for 2-3 minutes, or until they are cold to the touch.
- Gently tap an egg on the counter a few times and peel the shell away. Running the egg under cold water can help remove any additional pieces of shell. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and place all of the yolks in a large bowl.
- Add the mayo, mascarpone, dijon, vinegar, and dill to the bowl with the egg yolks. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) until light and fluffy - about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the filling back into the center of each egg and garnish with a pinch of smoked paprika.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
