Beet-Pickled Hungarian Deviled Eggs
- 8 large eggs, straight from the refrigerator
- 3 cups pickled beet juice (from about 2 jars pickled beets)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus dill sprigs for garnish
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish, drained
- 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
- 1/3 English cucumber, unpeeled, seedy center discarded, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- For the beet-pickled eggs: Put the cold eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Heat the water to a boil, then cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat.
- Let stand for 12 minutes.
- Drain the eggs and rinse with cold water.
- Let the eggs cool a bit, then peel them while they are still warm (eggs are much easier to peel when warm).
- Place the hard-boiled eggs in a bowl or storage container and pour the pickling brine from the beet jars over the eggs, making sure the eggs are submerged.
- (You may need to place a weight or a plate on top.)
- Allow the eggs to sit for 45 minutes to 1 hour in the brine, but no longer or they'll start to get rubbery.
- For the sweet Hungarian filling: Mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, vinegar, horseradish, mustard, paprika and cucumber.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
- Gently remove the yolks by pressing your thumb against the back of each yolk to pop it out of the white.
- Add the yolks to the bowl with the filling and mash with a fork until smooth.
- Season with salt.
- Spoon the filling into the egg whites, or use a re-sealable plastic bag to pipe it in.
- Sprinkle with paprika and dill before serving.
