Forget about peeling shells the next time you make deviled eggs! In this fun, square version, whites and yolks are separated, cooked individually and then brought back together to taste just like the original.

Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Paprika and sliced chives, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks into 2 small bowls; set aside the yolks. Whisk the whites until just foamy, transfer them to the prepared baking dish, cover the dish with foil and bake until the whites have fully set, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely in the baking dish.
- While the whites are baking, beat the yolks until smooth. Lightly coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add the yolks, and scramble over medium low until fully cooked and slightly dry, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the yolks to a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and pulse until smooth and creamy. Transfer the yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip.
- Turn the egg whites out of the baking dish onto a cutting board. Cut into even 1-inch squares. Pipe swirly dollops of the egg yolk onto each square. Sprinkle each with paprika and chives if using.

Don’t bother with this recipe. I could have made 8 doz deviled eggs in the amount of time it took to a make these. Not to mention they taste horrible.
Love the creativity, but these stuck to the bottom way too much to have anything attractive at the end.
I’m not sure why so many people had issues, these turned out gorgeous and tasty for me! Maybe just remember that the yolks need to be at a very soft scramble, keep the heat low, and be a little patient!
Man,it definitely “reads” easy and you can watch it, too!!
I know that would have questioned cooking the whites first, and the yolks. But, regular style is all cooked together (and IN
THE SHELLS). Duh!

I have to agree with a few other reviews, if you can’t get this simplistic alternative to deviled eggs right, maybe you should stay out of the kitchen. Super easy, along with a great twist on the classic summer appetizer. I plated all the squares on a large decorative platter. Dolloped the extra yolk mixture all the around the edges, then sprinkled on the paprika & chives. It made a very attractive presentation.
Tried this recipe because of the simplicity. Was very disappointed in the texture of the whites and the roughness of the yokes. I guess nothing replaces, good old-fashioned hard boiled eggs.
I have no idea how so many people can mess this up! Don’t overcook the eggs and they’ll be wonderfully creamy! Nothing wrong with the recipe, just lack of knowledge and experience of the cooks.
I brushed the pan with avacado oil and used liquid egg whites. I added extra (about 3 ) eggs whites. The whites were thicker. I also hard boiled 12 eggs and just used the yolks and made the filling with the hardboiled egg yolks. I saved the whites for avocado egg white salad. It was much easier then worrying about keeping the egg whites pretty! They came out great! Much easier!
I tried a half recipe of this tonight to see if I wanted to make them for Easter. They came out pretty good. The whites didn’t fall out of the pan like in the video, but once they cooled a bit I used a knife to cut around the edge and a fork to loosen the bottom. I did spray the pan before cooking them. The yolks I made sure not to over cook and I added by hand some pickle relish in after using the processor. The whites were also not as thick so maybe I need more whites then it says. All in all I thought it was much easier and I will do this most every time.
I wish had noticed that it only had two and half stars ! Terrible recipe. Eggs turned out hilariously bad.
