How to Make 4 Pepper Deviled Eggs Alton Brown
- Hard-boil 6 large eggs until yolks are set. Cool completely, then carefully slice lengthwise in half.
- Gently scoop the yolks into a medium mixing bowl, reserving the egg whites.
- Combine 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 teaspoon white peppercorns, 1 teaspoon green peppercorns, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pink peppercorns (reserve 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon) in a spice grinder. Grind until finely powdered.
- Add the ground pepper mixture to the egg yolks. Stir in 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon caper liquid, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon sugar. Mix thoroughly with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the yolk mixture to a zip-top plastic bag. Snip a small corner off the bag.
- Pipe or spoon the mixture into the egg white halves.
- Coarsely grind the reserved pink peppercorns. Sprinkle over the filled egg halves for garnish.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
