The Ultimate Deviled Eggs Guide | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@kevinoneil5120]

Man that mesh strainer method was a game changer!

[@eduardom8235]

As soon as Chef JP said, "It's all about the texture," I knew the following phrase would be "texture is the conductor of flavor." As a foodie and massive fan of this channel, I want to thank you, Chef JP, for all of your wonderful and friendly reminders. They are very much appreciated!

[@stereothrilla8374]

Absolute Facts!

[@bhakhan1]

This is his second video I watched. I am impressed. This phrase got my attention. How true!? Isn't it? Conductor of flavours. Never thought it that way!

"Texture Is The Conductor Of Flavour" Chef JP

[@timelapsetom5455]

!! Old eggs - easy pealing. Fresh eggs - difficult pealing. !!!!

[@katw3070]

Before I knew better, I once ruined a dozen eggs by buying fresh ones to make deviled eggs. Attempting to peel them was a nightmare.

My grandmother always made deviled eggs for all the family events, holidays, etc. But she had an old "Pennsylvania Dutch" trick. She soaked the emptied egg whites in beet juice. It turned them reddish pink, the longer the soak time, the darker pink/red they became. Then, she filled them with the yellow yoke mixture. It made a striking presentation. When I was a kid, I thought they were called "deviled" eggs because they were red like the devil.

[@feedingit]

Ohhh wow! I like this tip from your grandmother! Thank you for sharing😊

[@egrafix2006]

Cute

[@shaharvidenfeld9106]

Great tip 😊

[@deanframe9095]

I picked my eggs like that with chili onion carrots cabbage

[@privacyvalued4134]

Beet juice is a great idea. Russian potato salad is made with some diced beets added, which makes it red/purple. Grandmas are the best cooks.

[@randalltom9750]

I learn something new each time I've watched your channel. "Place the eggs into boiling water, first!" is a new one! Peeling eggs is often a challenge using my old way of doing things... Thanks JP, your genius is so simple, "a child could do it!"

[@robertakerman3570]

Too, I always keep a glass of water nearby; need to speak to the camera (nah, joking). I'm going to use the sieve 4 sure!

[@obcmissions]

Peeling is much better, especially for deviled eggs, when you need smooth whites by taking them from the boiling water right into a bowl of ice water with ice cubes in it. Perfect every time. Don’t forget to peel under cold running water.

[@robertakerman3570]

Yea, but it seems I've always one that's unforgiving (regardless of age). I need to do the drop into boil method. Seems as tho I did that as a kid.(@@obcmissions

[@randalltom9750]

It sounds so simple, but I've never heard it before... only JP can make such a simple remark, pure mastery. I swear, he must have invented chocolate!

[@joannefreeman3573]

Peeling eggs is very easy if you do it when the are lukewarm. Give a slight crac and then peel with the first knuckle of tour thumb sideways.

[@Dirtbiker-guy]

The enthusiasm and passion of this man is infectious. If everyone did their job with this much passion, the world would be a happier place.

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I _love_ deviled eggs! Thank you so much!

[@Munenushi]

If I may: if you do not have a "pastry bag" at all (they need nozzles too) - grab a lil plastic sandwich bag (or Ziploc bag) and put the egg 'stuffing' into that - then, use scissors to cut off the edge corner of the bag and push your way to taste! haha (don't forget to hold the back of the bag, or ziploc it shut; or you get egg mixture coming out the back end) great video thank you!

[@pierre6625]

Hello Chef Jean Pierre, this is a great tutorial on making perfect Devilled Eggs. The well-explained cooking time and the passing of the yolks through a strained were very interesting (I will certainly try this method). The ingredients you used are very common in a home kitchen which will make this recipe user-friendly. One more thing, as you say "nothing complicated". Thank you for sharing, Best Regards to you and Jack. ❤❤

It's mouthwatering to see them and friends and family loved them when I made a few of them. The tips and tricks are very helpful because there is a rationale behind it and chef explains it so well. All my good wishes.

Nice tip about putting eggs through strainer for texture❤

Years ago I was in charge of deviled eggs. I bought Knorr dry packets of Alfredo, Hollandaise and Pesto sauces and mixed them into the mashed yolk mixture for something different. I had regular as well. Everybody loved them!!!

Thank you, Chef Jean-Paul! 😊

[@TheGreatConstantini]

My wife and I have tried every method of boiling the eggs and we settled on putting them in room temp water, bring to a boil, turn off the heat, 9 minutes, run cold water over them. Always works. When we put them in boiling water some of them crack and exude egg white. Also don’t over crowd them. They will break. But we make all kinds of versions and will try the chips.

[@garybarkley2286]

I take a spoon and set the eggs into the hot water but yes eggs have to be room temperature can’t take cold eggs out of fridge and rite to hot boil water but try it with a spoon and they won’t crack as long as ya don’t drop them in the pot and they hit the sides or bottom

[@iDuckman]

That's the problem I've always had with lowering them into boiling water -- so many crack. I use an electric kettle. I _have_ been leaving them too long after the boil. Learned *two* things today. (Sieving the yolks is another.)

[@bagadonutz5717]

I’ve used a push pin to punch a hole in the large end of the egg before boiling them

[@susanshief8469]

Do you use room temp eggs or cold?

[@deeez00]

If you do a lot of cooking you can get a wire mesh basket and lower the eggs in boiling water, slowly.

"Texture is the conductor of Flaveur!" got so burnt into my cooking brain! I say it out loud every time I cook!

[@dougburton001]

Terrific! I already knew how to make devilled eggs but like so many of Chef's recipes, this one takes it from an 8 to a 10. My only comment is possibly the prosciutto and the ham are redundant. For my tastes I would choose one or the other. Thanks Chef!!

[@bikeny]

I was thinking he was gonna put some bacon bits for the topping but no matter, it's all good. I'd agree with you about the redundancy if he had actually chopped up the prosciutto into a whole bunch of chips and sprinkled them on top, but with just 1 tiny piece, it doesn't appear that it would be overpowering. Or, no ham and then he does chop all the prosciutto to sprinkle on top. I'm gonna have to make this multiple times to check 'em out. One thing I was laughing at that reminded me of my Italian grandmother was his use of the measurement values. I didn't see any measuring spoons or cups. And my grandmother didn't use any either.

[@dougburton001]

@@bikeny I'm no expert but I get the feeling that at least 50% of the time an exact measurement is simply not necessary and in truth, eyeballing it helps keep you thinking about what that ingredient is actually contributing to the dish.

I never made deviled eggs before. _(I know how to make like 5 things from raw ingredients and 4 of them don't even require cooking)_ I do have a recipe for Amish styled red beet eggs that I make and people enjoy, and so for a picnic that my local garden club holds as a fundraiser each I year I decided to make "red beet deviled eggs" following this recipe and I've never in my life had people compliment something I made like that. Every single person loved them, and even went back for seconds. That was over 4 dozen eggs I made, gone! Now the fact that they were made with the pickled beets may have played a part, but I think it really was this recipe, and first and foremost the use of the strainer. It did make my large batch of them that's much more laborious, but they were exceptionally creamy. Thank you so much for posting this recipe chef, because not everyone seems to love pickled beets and eggs, but everyone commented on how fantastic such a simple dish as these deviled eggs were, and I could t be happier to be making them again at this very moment. Thank you chef!

Hi chef, I made this two days in a row. I didn’t make it as fancy, used a spoon to mash the egg yolk. I also subbed green onion and just a splash of balsamic vinegar. I also put finely chopped purple onion, and yellow mustard powder instead of the mustard. Other than that I used your recipe and tips about the eggs. The way I make my eggs is easy. I just put them in boiling water and cover them, then turn off the stove and set the timer 20 minutes. I take the cover off and drain the water and run them under cold water. These turned out to be the best I’ve ever made. Thank you 😊

[@ChefJeanPierre]

[@TheKitty1952]

Love the Prosciutto chips! I will try making them soon. My mother always used paprika onto of the eggs, so that's been a family tradition. When I didn't have a pastry bag, I used a plastic sandwich bag, filled it up, then cut a small hole in the corner and filled the eggs. Not as pretty, but it worked, and nothing to clean afterwards.

[@bikeny]

Forgive the stupid question, but is that green pastry bag not disposable? I thought you'd fill it up, push out the eggs, and toss it. Clearly, I am not a pastry person.
