Why Are Deviled Eggs Called Deviled Eggs?

Classic deviled eggs are the perfect healthy snack for the holidays, potlucks and gathering parties. But “why are deviled eggs called deviled eggs?”

According to Google, the term “deviled,” about food, was in use in the 18th century, with the first known print reference appearing in 1786. In the 19th century, it came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.

Health Benefit of Eggs

So there is nothing genuinely devilish about deviled eggs!

In fact, eggs aren’t just delicious. They are incredibly nutritious and a great source of high-quality protein. Eggs are rich in vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, D, selenium, zinc, iron and copper!

Eggs are inexpensive, versatile, and an essential and versatile ingredient for cooking!

How to Make Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are easy to make and simply requires cooking a few hard-boiled eggs. But the best deviled eggs are perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs without the chalky green rim around the yolk.

Let’s talk about…

How to cook perfect hard-boiled eggs every time!

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil first.
2. Ensure there is enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
3. Place the eggs into the pot gently with a skimmer.
4. Set a timer immediately and cook the eggs to your desired doneness.

• 6 minutes 50 seconds: perfect soft-boiled egg with an unctuous texture
• 8 minutes: soft yolk with firm white
• 10 minutes: soft-centred hard-boiled eggs
• 13 minutes: the ideal hard hard-boiled egg without the chalky green rim around the yolk! Anything beyond 14 minutes would be considered overcooked.

While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
Transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool asap. Placing the eggs in an ice-water bath will stop them from cooking and maintain your perfect egg texture!

Marinate the Eggs

Once the eggs are cooled, lightly crack the eggshells by tapping it with the back of a spoon. Be careful, and don’t fully break the shell. You simply want the eggshells slightly cracked to let the marinade seep through to infuse and marble the eggs.

The Chinese Tea Leaf Eggs Base has a beautiful marbled surface. It is rich in umami flavours after bathing in a savoury marinade consisting of light and dark soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, shaoxing wine and obviously, black tea leaves.

Once your eggs have marinated overnight in the refrigerator – longer for two to three days if you prefer a thicker egg yolk. The eggs will become more flavourful and saltier over time.

Assembling Deviled Eggs

Remove the yolk to a small bowl with a spoon and place the egg whites on a plate.

Mash the yolks with a folk and add in kewpie mayonnaise, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Mix everything together until smooth.

Use a spoon or a piping bag to add a portion of the deviled egg yolk mixture back into the hold of each egg white. You can use a ziplock bag instead of a piping bag. Simply cut a small hole at the corner and use that as a tip.

Dust smoked paprika for garnish, add on shredded pork floss, and sprinkle with nori komi furikake seasoning on top.

Serve these tiny umami flavour bombs to your guests!
