Description

A twist on classic deviled eggs featuring caramelized sweet onions and sherry vinegar for a savory, aromatic bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped sweet onion (from 1 medium [8 oz.] onion)
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 1 tsp. sherry vinegar
  • 6 large eggs
  • Ice
  • 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp paprika (optional garnish)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chopped sweet onion until softened and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes.
  2. Stir in half of the kosher salt and the sherry vinegar, cooking for another minute, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Drain the eggs and transfer them to an ice bath to cool completely, then peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  5. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl; mash with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, the remaining kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  6. Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley if desired.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra depth, you can add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the yolk filling.
