Truffled Devilled Eggs Recipe - Cooking Index
Every year I get a lot of questions from readers about truffles. Some people want to know what they are, others want to know why they're so expensive, and still others are unsure of what to do with them once they have them. The bottom line is that truffles are easy to prepare, but they're usually served uncooked. The best truffle experience I ever had was at the fabulous Guy Savoy restaurant in Paris, where they shaved them over the top of a perfectly cooked risotto. They're also great shaved over a simple fettuccine alfredo. Some people swear by them in omelets. I personally like them just about any way I can get them, which includes truffle oil. Remember the golden rule of cooking with truffles: a little bit goes a long way.
Type: Eggs, Vegetables| 1 | Fresh eggs - room temperature | |
| 2 teaspoons | 10ml | Salt |
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | Mayonnaise |
| 1/2 | Small can minced olives - (abt 4 1/2 oz) | |
| 1 | Salt | |
| = (a nicely flavored sea salt) | ||
| 1 | Coarsely-ground black pepper | |
| 1 | Good quality paprika | |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Minced onion |
| 1 oz | 28g | Oregon white truffle |
Place the eggs in a six-quart pot, fill it with cold water, add the two teaspoons of salt, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are hard boiled. Remove the eggs from the boiling water and immediately place them in a cold water bath. Permit them to cool for about five minutes.
Remove the shells from the eggs and slice them in half. Remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a small mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, paprika, onions, and olives. Mix thoroughly to break up the yolks and combine all of the ingredients. Divide the egg yolk mixture among the halved egg whites, spooning a generous half teaspoon of the mixture into each of the egg halves. Top each of the eggs with a very thin sliver of truffle. Allow the eggs to stand, covered, for about 30 minutes before serving.
