Devilled egg sailing boats are a fun and delicious twist on the classic devilled egg recipe. These delightful appetizers are perfect for parties, get-togethers, or as a creative snack to enjoy at home. The addition of red pepper not only adds a pop of color but also a subtle sweetness and crunch that complements the creamy filling. Here’s how to make them.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Fill the saucepan with water, ensuring the eggs are completely submerged by at least an inch of water.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water starts boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid.
- Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, wash and core the red pepper. Cut a portion into small cubes for the filling and set aside the remaining pepper for the sails.
- Once the eggs are done, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell.
- Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, carefully removing the yolks and placing them in a separate bowl. Place the egg whites on a plate or serving platter.
- Mash the cooked yolks with a fork until crumbly.
- Add the mayonnaise to the mashed yolks and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the small cubes of red pepper evenly throughout the yolk mixture.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
- Carefully spoon the yolk mixture into each egg white half, filling each cavity generously.
- Cut the remaining red pepper into small triangles or sail shapes.
- Insert a small toothpick into the flat base of each pepper triangle to create a sail.
- Place a pepper sail into each devilled egg, securing the sail by sticking the toothpick into the yolk filling.
- Arrange your Devilled Egg Sailing Boats on a serving platter.
- Optionally, add a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as chives or parsley for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs are easier to peel when hard-boiled, ensuring you get smooth and attractive egg whites.
- Adjust mayonnaise: Depending on your preference, you can add more mayonnaise to make the filling creamier or use Greek yogurt for a healthier alternative.
- Add seasoning: Feel free to add a pinch of salt, pepper, or even a bit of paprika to the yolk mixture for extra flavor.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the devilled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and to keep them fresh.
- Creative garnishes: For added flair, you can garnish each boat with a small piece of fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
And there you have it! Your devilled egg sailing boats are ready to serve. These visually appealing and flavorful bites are sure to impress your guests and delight your taste buds. Enjoy these little boats of deliciousness at your next gathering or as a fun treat any time.
