Description
A colorful twist on classic deviled eggs, these Beet-Pickled Deviled Eggs with Lox are infused with the earthy flavor of beets and topped with smoked salmon.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 medium beet, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 ounces smoked salmon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Capers, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, combine the sliced beet, water, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the eggs are done, transfer them to an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool. Peel the eggs and carefully slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and half of the chopped smoked salmon to the yolks. Mash together until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, combine the beet mixture and the egg whites. Let the egg whites soak in the beet juice for at least 30 minutes to achieve a vibrant color.
- Fill the beet-pickled egg whites with the yolk mixture. Top with the remaining smoked salmon, chopped dill, and a few capers for garnish.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the yolk mixture.
- You can also substitute the smoked salmon with crumbled bacon for a different flavor profile.
