Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the ingredients. Gather all the necessary items: 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley for garnish.
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring that there is about an inch of water above the eggs.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
- After the time has elapsed, carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the eggs under running water to make the peeling easier.
- Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
- To the mixing bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, crumbled feta cheese, diced tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, mounding it slightly on top.
- Once all the egg whites are filled, sprinkle a little extra crumbled feta and diced tomatoes on top for garnish, if desired.
- Finish by garnishing the deviled eggs with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve the Deviled Egg Duo with Feta Tomatoes immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your delicious appetizer!
Tips
- Use eggs that are a few days old, as they peel more easily than fresh eggs.
- For perfectly cooked eggs, use the method of bringing water to a boil, then removing from heat and covering - this prevents rubbery egg whites.
- Cool eggs immediately in ice water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- For a smoother filling, press the egg yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing.
- Use a piping bag or zip-lock bag with the corner cut off for a professional-looking presentation.
- Prepare the eggs up to a day in advance, but add the garnish just before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top.
