1. Prep Work
Ready your steamer setup by bringing 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium once boiling.
2. Steam Eggs
Place the eggs in a steamer basket and transfer to the saucepan. Cover with the lid slightly ajar and steam for 13 minutes.
3. Ice Bath
As eggs finish cooking, prepare an ice bath with ice cubes and cold water in a medium bowl. Transfer eggs to the ice bath using tongs, and let them cool for 15 minutes.
4. Peel and Halve
Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and set egg whites on a serving platter, discarding the two least presentable halves.
5. Mash Yolks
In a small bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork until there are no large lumps.
6. Mix Filling
To the yolks, add mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Use a rubber spatula to blend, mashing against the bowl's side until the mixture is smooth.
7. Pipe Filling
Fit a pastry bag with a large open-star tip. Fill with the yolk mixture, and pipe it generously into the egg white halves.
8. Serve
Allow the deviled eggs to reach room temperature for optimal flavor and serve.
Incorporate finely chopped crispy bacon and fresh chives into the yolk mixture. The bacon adds a savory, umami-packed crunch, while the chives contribute a mild onion-like flavor.
Add finely chopped crispy bacon and shredded cheddar cheese to the yolk mixture. Garnish with more bacon and chives.
Swap out half of the mayonnaise for ripe avocado. Add lime juice instead of vinegar and garnish with cilantro for a Mexican-inspired version.
Replace half of the mayonnaise with ripe avocado for a creamy texture and a hint of green color. The avocado provides a buttery taste and adds healthy fats.
Top each deviled egg with a small piece of smoked salmon, a sprinkle of capers, and dill for an elegant twist.
