Turmeric Chives Chipotle Deviled Eggs Recipe

I learned the boiled egg technique used in this delicious deviled egg recipe from my sister-in-law, Lisa, during one of our summer beach trips, with hard-boiled eggs easily satisfying the ever-present hunger of three active toddlers. I find the eggs easier to peel than other methods, and it uses less energy.

Yield 24 deviled eggs

Equipment

  • Large pot with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 dozen eggs
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1.5 tablespoons mustard
  • 1.5 teaspoons turmeric
  • ½ teaspoons chipotle powder
  • ¼ teaspoons paprika powder
  • 1 small bundle of chives
  • 1 pinch of salt

Directions
 

  • Place the eggs in a large pot, one layer deep, and cover with water, one inch over the top of the eggs.
  • Bring to a boil; turn off the heat and let sit for 13 minutes.
  • Strain the eggs and place in ice cold water for ten minutes. This will make the eggs easier to peel.
  • Peel the eggs, cut in half and scoop out the yolks.
  • Add the mayonnaise, mustard, 1 teaspoon of the turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder, pinch of salt, and mix with a fork until smooth. I use a local Ninja Porter mustard, made from local porter by Crooked Condiments. Any flavorful mustard will enhance the flavor of the eggs.
  • Place the deviling back in the eggs and garnish with the remaining chipotle, paprika, and turmeric. Add less chipotle for a milder flavor, and remember to keep these out of the reach of children. I usually make a version without any chipotle powder for milder palettes, and reserve the spicy version up out of the way for spicy food lovers.
  • Garnish with chive greens and chive flowers if in season.
