Method

 

Prepare the Eggs

1. Submerge eggs in a pot of water, and bring to a boil.
2. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-11 minutes.
3. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once completely chilled, peel.

Prepare the Filling

1. Slice all the eggs in half lengthwise ( from top to bottom).
2. Gently scoop out the yellow yolks and place them in a bowl.
3. Use a fork and mash the yolks until smooth.
4. Then, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper.
5. Mix all the ingredients until perfectly creamy.

Fill the Eggs

1. Use either a small spoon or a piping bag to fill the creamy mixture back into the egg whites.
2. Top with extra feta, olives, cherry tomato, red pepper flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
3. Keep them chilled until you are ready to serve.

Tips for Best Deviled Eggs

• Don’t overcook the eggs. Once the water hits a boil, take them off the burner and let them steep, covered, for exactly 11 minutes before shocking them in an ice bath.
• Make sure to mash the yolks very smoothly for a creamy texture.
• Let the deviled eggs rest in the fridge for at least half an hour before serving. This allows the Mediterranean flavors to fully meld.
• Use a piping bag to fill the egg whites for a more elegant presentation.  Just remember to leave some headspace at the top of the bag to prevent it from overflowing.

What to Serve with Mediterranean Deviled Eggs

• Serve alongside grilled meats, roasted lamb, or chicken.
• Pair with a fresh cucumber and tomato Mediterranean salad and or mashed potato.
• Add to a mezze platter with hummus, baba ganoush, falafel and pita bread.

How to Store Deviled Eggs

• If you have any eggs left over, simply tuck them into an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. They’ll stay perfectly fresh and flavorful for up to two days.
• A quick heads-up: deviled eggs do not freeze well, as the egg whites will lose their delicate texture.
• For the best (and safest) results, avoid leaving the eggs at room temperature; always keep them tucked away in the fridge until the moment they are ready to hit the table.
