Honey Mustard Deviled Eggs Featuring Tarragon

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

8 hard-boiled eggs 6 tablespoons mayonnaise 3 teaspoons honey mustard 1 ½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice 3 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon 1 ½ tablespoons minced sweet onion salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 16 leaves tarragon leaves

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by peeling your hard-boiled eggs, then slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and set the whites aside, cut-side up, on a plate. Put the yolks in a small bowl.

Step 2

Use a fork to mash the yolks until they’re crumbly. Stir in mayonnaise, honey mustard, and a splash of lemon juice, mixing until the filling is smooth and fluffy. If you have a mini food processor or blender, it’s perfect for this step to get a nice creamy texture without any lumps.

Step 3

Next, fold in the minced tarragon, finely chopped onion, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything a good mix to combine all the flavors.

Step 4

Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. If you want them to look a little fancier, try piping the filling using a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the tip cut off.

Step 5

Finish by garnishing each egg with a small tarragon leaf. Pop them in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to serve.

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use eggs that are a few days old for easier peeling after boiling.
- Chill the eggs completely before peeling to prevent the whites from sticking.
- Mix the filling until smooth but not too runny for the best texture.
