Spanish Deviled Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 small clove garlic
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped almonds, preferably Marconas
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, more as needed
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley, more for sprinkling
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (or regular paprika), more for sprinkling
- Begin with eggs at room temperature; otherwise, they will need more cooking time.
- Put the eggs in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch.
- Put the pan over high heat.
- As soon as the water boils, turn off the burner and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the pan, transfer to a bowl of cold water, and let cool.
- Peel the eggs, halve lengthwise, and ease out the yolks into a bowl.
- Arrange the whites on a serving platter.
- Peel and coarsely chop the garlic, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and use the side of a chefs knife to smash the garlic into a paste.
- (You should have about 1/4 teaspoon.)
- Add the garlic to the bowl with the yolks, along with the olive oil, mayonnaise, almonds, lemon juice, parsley, paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Use a fork to smash the yolks and blend the ingredients.
- Taste and add more lemon juice or salt as needed, keeping in mind that you need a flavorful filling to counter the bland egg whites.
- Using two teaspoons, divide the yolk mixture among the whites.
- (For a more refined presentation, you can also pipe the mixture in using a pastry bag.)
- Garnish the eggs with a pinch of parsley and paprika.
- Refrigerate if making ahead, but let them come to room temperature before serving.
