| Yield: | 24 deviled eggs |
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped black truffle peelings
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Put the eggs in a large pot and add enough water to cover by about 1 inch. Bring the pot to boil (BTB), cover and then turn off the heat and let sit for 13 minutes EXACTLY!
- Drain the eggs and run them under cold water until cool; if you’re not using them right away, put them in the fridge.
- Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks. Put the yolks in a small bowl and mash them with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, truffle peeling, truffle oil and cayenne and whip until very light and fluffy.
- Use a disposable pastry bag (or just buy zip-top bags, fill them and cut off one corner – a very low-tech solution but my favorite kind!) to pipe the yolk mixture into the whites (or just spoon it in). Sprinkle with the chives to serve.

I have made this recipe often (and only this recipe!) for years. It is EXCELLENT! Truffle oil makes it wonderful even without the truffle shavings- still an excellent deviled egg! FYI: Truffle is sometimes available in our local markets, but the truffle from China differs from the truffle found in France (I learned this when digging truffles). Regarding the peeling of eggs: I plunge my cooked eggs in the ice bath immediately and when they are easy to handle, peel them with the tip of a spoon. Often I can get the entire shell off in one entire piece! And I don’t peel under running water, but I do rinse and pat dry when the shells are off. Oh and I do serve them sliced horizontally – I get more servings for the crowd and THESE GO FAST!!
These came out so good! I already boil my eggs Anne Burrell style and they always come out perfect. Definitely planning to o make these again soon.
I loved it! Great recipe.
Looked easy on the show, but HARD. My farm, fresh eggs did not peel easily (even peeled under running water). I followed the recipe exactly. The yolks were unevenly close to the ‘whites’ and I found most impossible to use upright. The yolks were a tad uncooked and lumpy with globs of gummy yolk. I pushed the yolks through a sieve and was able to save the recipe. The fresh chives were fantastic. I seasoned with horseradish and Dijon mustard. No truffles.
this turned out great! I didn’t have truffle shavings, but I don’t discriminate against recipes if I’m just missing one thing. If you like truffle and deviled eggs, this will surely be a party pleaser! Enjoy!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eggs and truffles, a match made in culinary heaven!!!!!!!!!! ivyfour…. maybe your eggs are old.
The eggs still turned out a bit green, and I follwed the recipe to a tee.
