Ingredients
For the Eggs & Yolk Cream:
- 5 large eggs
- 45 g mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Giusti 5 Gold Medals Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
- Salt and pepper
For Colouring the Egg Whites:
- 150 ml beetroot juice (or extract)
- 150 ml water
For Garnish:
- Pearls of Giusti Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
Additional:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (for boiling water)
Process
Cooking and Peeling the Eggs
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for about 8 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the eggs into a bowl of freezing water and let them chill for at least 15 minutes.
- Once cooled, gently tap each egg with the back of a teaspoon to crack the shell, then peel carefully.
Preparing the Egg Filling
- Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife, halve each egg while keeping the pointed end up.
- Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Giusti 5 Gold Medals Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Season with salt and pepper.
- Blend the mixture with a blender until it forms a smooth, uniform cream (be cautious not to over-blend to avoid splitting; if it splits, add a bit more mayonnaise and whisk).
- Transfer the yolk cream into a pastry bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle for easy piping.
Colouring the Egg Whites
- Remove any remaining membranes from the egg whites.
- In a large bowl, mix 150 ml water with 150 ml beetroot juice (or a few drops of food coloring if preferred).
- Immerse the egg whites in the mixture, and monitor until they reach a pleasant pink hue (approximately 10 minutes).
- Remove the whites, dab dry with paper towels, and arrange them on a serving dish.
Assembling the Deviled Eggs
- Pipe the yolk cream into each egg white half, creating a spiral pattern from the center that curls outward.
- Decorate each filled egg by placing a few pearls of Giusti Balsamic Vinegar of Modena on top.
