Instructions

1 Place the eggs in a large pot and cover cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil
and then cover with a lid and turn off the heat. It is very important to start
with cold water.

Set a timer for 12 minutes ⏲️
2 Once the timer goes off, remove the eggs from the hot water and move them to an
ice bath. Shock the eggs in the cold water for 5 minutes, or longer. Five
minutes is the minimum. The shocking process makes it easier to peel the eggs
shell off.
3 Next, remove the eggshells. Do this under running cool water. Allowing the
weight of the water to help the egg peel be removed.
4 The Filling: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the egg yolks
and place them into a large mixing bowl. Using the back of a spoon, smash the
yolks with mayonnaise and salt.

Take the shallot and mince it into small pieces.

Tip: If the shallot has any green close to the middle, remove it as it is
bitter.
5 Combine Ingredients:

Mix together with the egg yolks/mayo plus

1 ½ teaspoon Dijon Mustard

3 teaspoons Shallots / minced

3 Gherkins Pickles / Finely Chopped - sweet pickles work really well

2 teaspoons White Sugar - Helps balance the ingredients

¾ teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar

2 teaspoons Fresh Chives (optional) sliced thin - save some for garnish

½ teaspoons Sea Salt

¼ teaspoons White Pepper
6 Presentation: Use a piping bag with a star tip inserted. The fluted edges on the
star tip will give a beautiful presentation.

Or, I like using a ziplock plastic bag. Cut a small piece off of the lower
corner and place a star tip into the corner.

Or you could use a spoon to fill.
7 Fill each egg white half and be generous, fill over the top of the egg side. To
the point, you're not making a mess.
8 Garnish: Use a sprinkle of paprika and chives. Cut the chives into small coins.
9 Place the deviled eggs into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set up/
firm up. The texture will be so much better.
