Deviled Eggs With Sour Cream Chives And Salmon Roe Recipes

DEVILED EGGS WITH SOUR CREAM, CHIVES, AND SALMON ROE

Steps:

• Carefully scoop yolks from egg halves into large bowl. Finely chop 4 egg-white halves; add to bowl with yolks. Add sour cream and next 6 ingredients to yolks. Mash with fork until smooth. Arrange egg-white halves on large platter. Spoon filling into each, mounding slightly. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Garnish each egg half with 1/4 teaspoon roe and serve.

SMOKED SALMON DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a pot large enough to hold them in a single layer. Cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a full boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs stand for 15 minutes. Drain the eggs and fill the pot with cold water. Set aside until the eggs are cool.
• Peel the eggs and then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully. Place the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and arrange the whites on a platter in a single layer with the cut sides up and sprinkle with salt.
• To the egg yolks, add the sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, salmon, salt, and pepper. Beat on medium speed until fluffy. With a small spoon, fill the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture. Cover loosely with plastic wrap (you don't want to flatten the filling) and refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend.
• When ready to serve, garnish with a dollop of salmon roe and some extra chopped chives. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

DEVILED EGGS WITH CAVIAR AND SALMON ROE

Steps:

• For the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Halve the garlic across the equator and place on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with the oil. Wrap to cover the garlic and roast until soft, about 30 minutes. Remove, cool and pop the garlic cloves out of their skins. Mash with a fork to make a paste and set aside.
• For the deviled eggs: Place the eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat; then immediately remove from the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and cool for 15 minutes.
• Peel the eggs, then halve them lengthwise and gently scoop the yolks into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard and 1 tablespoon mashed roasted garlic. Fold in the jalapenos and season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk into a creamy paste.
• Spoon a generous mound of the mixture into each egg white half to fill the divots. Alternately, place the yolk mixture into a piping bag and fill the divots. Garnish with a small dollop of salmon roe and/or black caviar and serve immediately.
