Ingredients for Luxe Truffle Deviled Eggs

  • 1 dozen hard-cooked eggs

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons soured cream or crème fraîche

  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil

  • 1/4 teaspoons salt

  • Black lava salt

  • Fresh-cracked black pepper

  • 20 tiny chive flowers (optional)

Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Set 20 egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate. This recipe uses 12 egg yolks, but only yields enough filling for 20 halves; reserve the extra 4 whites for another use.

With a fork, mash the yolks to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, soured cream, truffle oil, and salt, and mix until smooth. (You can also do this using an electric mixer with a whip attachment.) Taste and season accordingly.

Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly.

Top each egg half with a tiny sprinkle of black lava salt, a grind of fresh-cracked black pepper, and a chive flower, if using.
