Treat your ingredients with care...
- Anchovy fillets — If you prefer a milder anchovy flavor, you can rinse the fillets under cold water before chopping them. This will help reduce the saltiness while still adding a hint of umami to the deviled eggs.
Tips & Tricks
- For a creamier filling, you can add a splash of lemon juice or a teaspoon of white wine vinegar to the yolk mixture.
- Experiment with different garnishes such as capers, olives, or a sprinkle of paprika for added flavor and visual appeal.
- If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute it with yellow mustard or even a pinch of dried mustard powder.
