In certain circles, it’s not a party without deviled eggs. If you’re feeling fancy, you can scrape the filling into a plastic bag, twist out the air, cut one corner, and pipe it into the whites.
Contains: eggs.
What You Get
Eggs
Pancetta
Chives
Garlic aioli
What You'll Need
Dijon mustard
Red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Gently add the eggs and cook until hard-boiled, 11 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs into a bowl of cold water.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy like bacon, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 3
Finely chop 2 tablespoons chives. In a bowl, stir together the garlic aioli, 2 teaspoons mustard, and 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, and season to taste with salt.
Step 4
When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and add them to the aioli mixture. Arrange the whites on a platter. Using a fork, mash the yolks to make a smooth filling.
Step 5
Using a small spoon, scoop the filling back into the egg whites. Break the pancetta into pieces, and stick 1 or 2 pieces into each deviled egg. Sprinkle chives over everything, grind with pepper, and serve.
