Luxe Truffle Deviled Eggs
- 1 dozen hard-cooked eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or creme fraiche
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil
- 1/4 teaspoon 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, sour 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.
