Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche or sour cream, plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons orange tobiko (flying fish roe) or other caviar (about 1/4 ounce)
- Sixteen 1/2-inch-long pieces fresh chive
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 30 seconds then remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water until cool. Carefully peel the eggs and halve each lengthwise. Carefully remove and reserve the yolks.
- Place the yolks in a food processor with the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, Dijon, paprika and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process until smooth, and then season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
- Pipe the yolk mixture into the eggs. Top each egg with a scant teaspoon of the tobiko, a small dollop of creme fraiche and a piece of chive.

Reviews
Great appetizer…especially for the Christmas season. I agree with another reviewer, found the filling a bit dry as stated so added 2 more tbs of mayonnaise. The salty caviar was perfect. Next time I’m likely not to use the crème. Was sort of lost.
It makes a beautiful presentation!!

Stunning appetizer! Huge hit! Next time I’ll double the recipe.
Perfect deviled egg recipe paired with briny caviar. We’ll make this again.
These were very easy to make…but most deviled eggs are. We liked them, but not enough to give 4 stars. I thought they were a bit dry, but that’s probably my personal taste. Visually they were very pretty and enticing and that’s what we like when we entertain.
Made these deviled eggs for a social event last night and they were delicious! One guest raved, “This is chef quality!” It was easy to do, looked elegant on my deviled egg dish and now I’m going to use leftover eggs to make more just to eat for myself today!
