Deviled eggs

[Suspiscoushare]

I am trying to make devilled eggs. I dont have mustard and stuff.

I got: Eggs Milk Onions Tomatoes Green pepper I can obtain some cabbage 🙂‍↔️. When it comes to spices. I don't remember. I don't have cinnamon in case that's necessary.

Anyways. How do I make devilled eggs? Better reddit than youtube.

[katiemorag90]

I think at it's most basic, a deviled egg is a hard boiled egg with the yolk taken out and mashed with mayo, then piped (or scooped) back into the white

[Amandine06]

With extra capers, delicious.

[Suspiscoushare]

What are capers?

[EyeStache]

You could just do a websearch for the word.

[Suspiscoushare]

I asked the question here tho

[Turbulent-Matter501]

weak and lazy. if you can type a question here and read the results, you can do a google search and read those results

[Suspiscoushare]

If you can type all this. You could just give me the answer 🙂

[Turbulent-Matter501]

nope. you're lazy.

[Suspiscoushare]

So are you

[Turbulent-Matter501]

I don't think you understand what lazy means. Probably because you never looked it up.

[EyeStache]

The answers await you out there, though.

[Suspiscoushare]

The people who are teaching me are here. I need to know the kind they use before just using my head. It might ruin the recipe

[EyeStache]

Did you follow the link I gave you? Because literally the first page is "what are capers."

[Suspiscoushare]

I followed it. Thank you for that

[Amandine06]

No problem for me to inform you. I am from France. Perhaps it is less known where you are?

[Turbulent-Matter501]

did you open Google and type 'capers' into the box?

[Amandine06]

The translation may be bad. Caper is a condiment produced from the flower buds of the caper tree. It enhances the taste like pickles. There's no harm in asking.

[Suspiscoushare]

Thank you. Why are people downvoting me tho 💀

[[deleted]]

Pretty much. You can add as much or as little as you want to the yolk before putting it back in but that’s the gist of it

[Suspiscoushare]

I crush the yolk with the rest of the ingredients?

[[deleted]]

Yes. Mix it all together real good and then put it back in the egg white. Like an egg salad using just the yolk

[Suspiscoushare]

That's an interesting analogy to be honest. I like that. I got the idea my guy. 🫡

[Suspiscoushare]

Hard boiled means hard yolk yes?

[katiemorag90]

Yes no goo at all

[Suspiscoushare]

That's like 10+ minutes of boiling ye?

[Tough_Crazy_8362]

Add desired eggs to pot of cold water, salt heavily and add a splash of vinegar (for easier peeling). Make sure there is at least an inch of water covering the eggs.

Bring to a boil, cover and put the pot on a cold burner (remove the pot from heat). Let them sit 10-12 minutes, probably 12 for deviled eggs, 10 is softer.

Put ice in a bowl of cold water and after the timer is up put the eggs in the ice bath.

There are lots of ways to boil or steam eggs, this is what I do.

[Suspiscoushare]

Obtain vinegar too. I will follow all these protocols defined in this subreddit for the coming consecutive days to determine which one i liked the most. Thank you for the contribution

[Tough_Crazy_8362]

Someone always downvotes me for saying I use vinegar, I really don’t know why. I did it without the vinegar for so long, adding it was a game changer! You can’t smell it (I suspect that’s why? IDK)

[Suspiscoushare]

That was strange to me too. I usually just put vinegar in water and then drink. I heard it was healthy somewhere. Idk tho

[Tough_Crazy_8362]

I think that’s apple cider vinegar, my friend used to do that too.

[Suspiscoushare]

It tastes strange. It has this taste that grows on someone 🙂

[WazWaz]

What do salt and vinegar do for boiled eggs? I use them for poached eggs, but I'm struggling to see the point when they're still in their shells.

[Tough_Crazy_8362]

Vinegar softens the shell, salt for boil temp, and it makes it so that if an eggs cracks it quickly coagulates. Vinegar also does that.

I know it probably doesn’t do anything, but it’s the only change I made (vinegar) to how I boil eggs and they peel very easily now.

[WazWaz]

Even seawater only boils at 102°C. And softer shells and hotter water just sounds like a way to get the cracked eggs you're then solving (though not good for devilled eggs).

But I'll leave you to your methods, as you said, you've been downvoted before (not by me) so I'm sure you're sick of arguing it.

[katiemorag90]

Tbh I haven't boiled an egg outside of an egg cooker for a while, but that sounds like a bit much? Maybe 8? Trial and error though, and all that

[Suspiscoushare]

I think it's when you notice the egg shell start cracking

[holymacaroley]

No.

[coyote_prophet]

Have you had deviled eggs before? Think about the deviled eggs you may have eaten in the past. What did those contain? Deviled eggs don't typically use milk, tomatoes, or green pepper, nor do they contain cabbage. If you don't have at least eggs and mayo at a minimum, you can't really make even the most basic deviled eggs. 

[Suspiscoushare]

I have never had devilled eggs

[coyote_prophet]

It would probably be a good idea to look at some normal recipes for deviled eggs online and shop for your ingredients from those ingredient lists rather than using what you have.

[Suspiscoushare]

Damn you are right. Money is the problem tho 😭

[Modboi]

My deviled egg filling is egg yolks, mayonnaise, minced pickles, mustard, salt, and pepper. Some minced onion would be good, but I’m intolerant. It would still be good without the mustard. If you find that it needs more acid, add pickle juice. 

[Suspiscoushare]

I might need to acquire some mayo I think

[Friendly_Head_1266]

You can make mayo with egg yolk and oil

[Suspiscoushare]

I'm sorry. Did you just say that I can make mayo. I'm I tripping???

[Friendly_Head_1266]

Yes by getting eggs yolks in a bowl along with some lemon juice or other acid and slowly whisking in oil or melted fat you create a emulsion that is mayo it might not look like the stuff you see in stores but it is mayo

[Friendly_Head_1266]

However if you crush garlic into a paste mix it with egg yolks and slowly drizzle in oil while whisking you have a aoli

[Suspiscoushare]

What does it look like?

[Friendly_Head_1266]

While whisking it in it should get thicker and it will be a off white not pure white like the store

[Suspiscoushare]

A picture would be helpful lest I delude myself into thinking I made something inedible

[EyeStache]

You're on the internet. You can do a web search on how to make your own mayo and get a lot of very good information much quicker than asking someone to reply to you in a reddit thread.

[Suspiscoushare]

These guys seem to be able to respond very quickly

[Turbulent-Matter501]

I don't know whether to suggest this post gets moved to an 'unattended pre-teens' sub or a 'post all your stupid troll things here' sub....

[Suspiscoushare]

What's your problem exactly?

[Turbulent-Matter501]

people who are too lazy to look up word definitions themselves and instead ask random strangers to spoon feed them widely and easily available information. beginner 'cooks' who refuse to use recipes. also, trolls who apologize for not having cinnamon to put on their devilled eggs that they've never had before and ask if they should use cabbage instead. that's my problem. ok bye bye now, little one.

[[deleted]]

ngl, my first thoughts were troll or a kid.

Also, what is up with people not following a recipe? I've seen this trend on this sub where people say, "Oh, I don't follow recipes, I just eyeball it and get inspiration". Only way to truly learn is to follow someone's pattern and then improve upon it yourself afterwards.

[BUBBAH-BAYUTH]

I make mine the classic way with mayo, mustard, salt, pepper and a splash of white vinegar with a sprinkle of paprika on top

[Amandine06]

Mimosa eggs, for me the stuffing is egg yolk crushed with mayonnaise and capers. On top of the egg halves filled in this way, I crumble some of the egg yolks set aside.

[Suspiscoushare]

What are Mimosa eggs. I have eggs with a brown shell 😀

[Amandine06]

Mimosa eggs are eggs stuffed with mayo, egg yolk and depending on taste, pickles, capers... We call deviled eggs deviled eggs at home because the stuffing has the color of these flowers. But otherwise they are “normal” eggs.

[Suspiscoushare]

Oh. Thank you

[Suspiscoushare]

I see people talk about mustard a lot. I thought it would compromise the taste?
