Deviled Egg Preparation by: wikipedia
First, the uncracked eggs are boiled until the yolks are hard and firm, referred to as "hard-boiling". When the cooked eggs have cooled, the eggs are peeled then sliced lengthwise. The yolks are removed, leaving two egg white halves with empty "cups". The yolks are mashed and mixed with a variety of other ingredients, most often mayonnaise and mustard. Tartar sauce is also frequently used. Other common flavorings include: diced pickle or pickle relish, corn relish, a dash of sugar, along with salt, ground black pepper, powdered cayenne pepper or chipotle chilis, vinegar, green olives, pimentos, poppyseed, and minced onion. The yolk mixture is then scooped with a spoon or knife or piped into each egg "cup." Paprika may be sprinkled on top as a garnish.
In French cuisine, the other ingredients are most likely to be pepper and parsley. In the Hungarian cuisine the yolks are mashed and mixed with white bread soaked in milk, mustard and parsley, often served as an appetizer in mayonnaise or as a main course baked in the oven with Hungarian sour cream topping and served with French fries. Other common flavorings of the yolks in the German cuisine are anchovy and caper.
Flavorings
The term "deviled" dates back to the 19th century, referring to the use of particularly hot spices in cooking. Contemporary versions of deviled eggs may include a wide range of seasonings and added foods, such as garlic, horseradish, wasabi, cheese, chutney, capers, salsa, hot sauce, mushrooms, spinach, sour cream, caviar, smoked salmon, or other seafood. Thus contemporary deviled eggs are not always particularly spicy.
