Snacking on appetizers while mingling with friends and family is the best way to spend an Easter afternoon.
Preparing a feast is hard work, so keep it simple with make-ahead appetizers like salads, baked brie, or deviled eggs. It just wouldn’t be Easter without at least one type of deviled egg.
In honor of the springtime celebration, throw together a deviled-egg tulip bouquet. TikToker Jessie Daye (@jessiejanedaye) breaks down how to make this lovely appetizer.
Here’s what you’ll need to do.
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
- 1 dash of white vinegar or Tabasco sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon of Kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- Whole fresh green onions
Directions:
Of course, the first step is to hard boil your eggs. Jessie hard boils her eggs the way her grandfather taught her. She starts by submerging the eggs in cold water and bringing the water to a full boil.
Then, she boils the eggs for two minutes before turning off the heat and covering the pot with a lid. She lets the eggs sit for 16 minutes.
Afterward, she removes them from the pot and drowns them in an ice bath.
Once the eggs have cooled down, use a paring knife to cut an “X” at the top of each egg. Make sure to slice slightly down the sides of the eggs so you can pop out the yolk. Remove the yolk carefully, leaving the egg white intact.
Some yolks will come out easily, but others may break apart and create a huge mess. That’s just the way it goes sometimes! If you end up ripping part of the egg white, don’t panic. When you’ve finished preparing everything, no one will notice the mistake.
Next, combine the mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise in a medium-sized bowl. Use a hand mixer with the setting on high, mixing until everything is smooth. Add the mixture to a piping bag with a round tip.
Fill up the egg whites, also known as the tulip petals, with the mixture. Finally, lay all the eggs out on a serving platter and arrange green onions underneath the eggs so they look like flower stems. You can even tie a ribbon into a bow to affix to your bouquet of deviled eggs.
If you want to color the eggs, add beet powder to the water when boiling them to resemble pretty pink tulips!
