Ingredients
Scale
For the Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1½ tsp. spicy brown deli mustard
- 1 tsp. sour cream
- Salt & pepper, to taste
For Decoration
- 1 large red bell pepper
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place 6 large eggs in a pot and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 20 minutes to hard boil.
- Cool the eggs: Transfer boiled eggs to a bowl of cold water and let sit 5-10 minutes to cool completely.
- Peel the eggs: Gently tap and crack the shells around the center, then carefully peel away the shell without damaging the egg.
- Slice the eggs: Slice each egg through the middle widthwise to create sturdy halves that sit flat.
- Remove yolks: Carefully remove the yolks from the egg whites, placing yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Trim egg bottoms: Slice a small bit off the bottom of each egg white half so they sit flat and stable on the serving plate.
- Prepare yolk filling: Push the yolks through a mesh strainer to break them up and create a smooth texture.
- Mix filling: In a bowl, combine the strained yolks with 1 tbsp. mayo, 1 tsp. sour cream, 1½ tsp. spicy brown deli mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Refrigerate filling: Cover the filling with plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing decorations.
- Prepare decorations: Slice the large red bell pepper into shapes resembling horns and wings to place atop each deviled egg for a Halloween theme.
- Assemble deviled eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites, then adorn with bell pepper shapes to complete the Halloween look. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Boiling eggs for 20 minutes ensures fully hard-boiled yolks suitable for smooth deviled filling.
- Straining yolks through a mesh strainer guarantees creamy, lump-free filling.
- Cutting a small slice off the egg white bottoms helps keep eggs from rolling on the plate.
- Use bell pepper decorations to add a fun, festive Halloween touch.
- The recipe can be customized with different mustards or toppings according to taste.
