fried deviled egg appetizers in a creamy sauce
Here’s a neat twist on the typical deviled egg appetizer. Once you’ve tried these you’ll never look at deviled eggs the same way again. In fact, they’re not just for guests… make them any time you want a nice bite of comfort. They are simple to make. As a matter of fact, you can boil the eggs the day before, and then assemble them the next day. So, you ready… let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make fried deviled egg appetizers in a creamy sauce
-
Step 1THE DEVILED EGGS
-
Step 2Gather your ingredients
-
Step 3Hard-boil the eggs.
-
Step 4Chef’s Note: Ah the mystery of hard-boiling an egg. I won’t go into that here. Let’s just say that if you talk to a dozen chefs they will give you a dozen different ways to achieve the perfect hard-boiled egg. Suffice to say that I experimented until I came up with a method that works every single time… for me.
-
Step 5Chef’s Tip: Since the white portion of the egg will be used in the presentation, be as careful as possible when removing the shell.
-
Step 6Slice the eggs in half, and separate the yolks from the whites.
-
Step 7Add the garlic and parsley and truffle oil into the bowl of a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.
-
Step 8Chef’s Note: The black truffle oil is optional (and rather expensive), but it does add a wonderful twist to an American tradition.
-
Step 9Give the mixture a few 1-second pulses until thoroughly combined.
-
Step 10Add the egg yolks, and some salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse to combine.
-
Step 11Finally, add a bit of cream, a little at a time until the mixture is creamy, but still holds together.
-
Step 12Chef’s Note: You want the mixture nice and thick, so watch how much cream you add. You can always add more, but you can’t add less.
-
Step 13Add the egg mixture to the egg whites.
-
Step 14Chef’s Tip: You don’t want to dome the egg mixture. You want it to be flat with the cut of the egg white.
-
Step 15Add the grapeseed oil to a sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat.
-
Step 16When the oil begins to shimmer, add the eggs, cut side down, and allow them to cook, undisturbed, until brown, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Step 17Remove from the sauté pan, and reserve.
-
Step 18THE SAUCE
-
Step 19Take the leftover egg yolk mixture (you will have some left), and place it into a food processor fitted with an S-blade, or you could use a blender.
-
Step 20Add the sauce ingredients, except the water, and puree until smooth.
-
Step 21Add the water a little bit at a time until you have a nice consistency.
-
Step 22Chef’s Note: It should be thick, but it should flow like nice gravy.
-
Step 23Add some of the sauce to a presentation dish.
-
Step 24Chef’s Note: Add just enough sauce to compliment the one egg, don’t over do it.
-
Step 25Top with one of the eggs.
-
Step 26Add a bit of chopped parsley.
-
Step 27Serve warm, or cool. Enjoy.
-
Step 28Keep the faith and keep cooking.
