Deviled Eggs with Blue Cheese and Chorizo
- 10 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
- 8 cups Cold Water, Enough To Cover The Eggs By One Inch
- 6 cups Ice Water
- 1 whole Link Of Spanish Chorizo, Cubed
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Your Favorite Hot Sauce
- 1/4 teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
- 1/4 cups Blue Cheese, Crumbled
- Begin by adding the eggs to a large pot of water, adding the vinegar, and covering with water.
- Bring to boil, then cover, and remove from the heat.
- Keep covered for 13 minutes.
- During this time, fill a large bowl with water and add about a cup of ice.
- As the eggs are cooking, add the chorizo to a skillet, preheated on medium heat.
- Cook the chorizo for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Remove the chorizo cubes with a slotted spoon and place onto a paper towel to let any excess grease be removed.
- Remove the eggs from the pot of hot water with a slotted spoon and place them into the ice water to quickly cool.
- Take an egg out, and gently tap the egg on the counter, just lightly cracking the shell.
- Carefully remove the shell from the egg.
- It should peel right off.
- Continue with the rest of the eggs.
- Next, with a long and sharp knife, slice the egg in half, lengthwise.
- To another bowl, add in the cooked egg yolks from each of the eggs, and place the cooked egg whites carefully onto a plate.
- Continue with all of the eggs.
- To the bowl of egg yolks, add the mustard, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and black pepper.
- Mix well until all lumps have been removed.
- Next, fold in half of the cooked chorizo, and all of the blue cheese.
- I like to add my mixture into a quart size Ziploc plastic bag, then simply cut off some of the corner of the bag, allowing you to pipe the mixture into the egg whites for a much more consistent presentation.
- Fill each egg white, just a bit over the top of the cavity, and repeat with all of the eggs.
- Top each egg with the remaining pieces of the chorizo, and dig in.
- The hidden treasure of the blue cheese adds a bit more excitement to the tangy filling, and you get these nice spicy cubes of chorizo to balance out the deviled eggs.
- Addicting and delicious, to say the least.
- Hope you enjoy.
