First things first, I’ve updated the previous post with the names of the winners of the cookbook giveaway! Please send me an email in the next 48hrs so I can have your prizes sent to you, congratulations!

I came to the deviled egg club a little late in life, it will always be a huge regret, one that will always remain at the back of my mind. However, that being said, I need to move on or regrets will keep me behind and there is no better way to do this than to make as many versions of deviled eggs I can think of until time stands still. A deviled egg reminds me of a boat, just like a taco it’s a vehicle for a potentially delightful and sensuous experience that can excite all your senses. My first deviled egg did just that, the idea behind it is simple yet simultaneously concealing a concept that is pure genius. A creamy yolk mixed into a concoction of mayonnaise and garnished with sweet pickled relish and a sprinkling of paprika. It was heaven! 

This deviled egg recipe though inspired by that early experience is different. There’s the familiar blend of mayonnaise and boiled egg yolk but there’s also the umami goodness of brown miso, the spicy yet tart flavor of kimchi, with a crunchy topping of fried mushrooms crusted with cracked black pepper and toasted black sesame seeds. 

This should be your new party favorite hors d’ouvres. And the lovely folk at Le Creuset are giving away this gorgeous deviled egg tray, a mixing bowl and a salt and pepper shaker for you to make your next deviled egg recipe.

Here are some of my kitchen tips that you might find useful when making these deviled eggs;

  • You can use eggs that have a slight greyish-blue ring, it doesn’t affect the taste or color as the yolk gets mixed up. Just be careful when handling the egg whites as they are very delicate especially near the cavity.

  • There are a lot of different types of kimchi available in the market, I used one that had cabbage and carrots which gives an extra bump of color to the garnish.

  • You’ll notice I don’t add any salt to the egg yolk mixture, brown miso and kimchi have a bit of salt in them so I didn’t find the need to over season. However, taste the mixture before you pipe it into the egg cavity.

  • You can make the hardboiled eggs the night before and prep the eggs the day you plan to serve. I don’t recommend keep the eggs for more than 24 hours.

brown miso and kimchi deviled eggs with fried mushrooms

yields: 12 deviled eggs

ingredients

6 hard boiled large eggs, peeled and halved

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons kimchi juice

1 tablespoon brown miso paste

1 tablespoons spicy yellow mustard

1 tablespoon shredded kimchi vegetables (cabbage and carrots), drained

3 tablespoons sesame oil

12 mushrooms (choose from a mix of wild mushrooms such as enoki and chantrelles)

1/2 tablespoon coarsely cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon toasted black sesame seeds

1. Carefully scoop out the egg yolks from the halved eggs and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Place the halved egg whites in a deviled egg tray or a serving tray.

2. Add the mayonnaise, kimchi juice, brown miso paste and spicy mustard to the egg yolks in the mixing bowl and using a silicone spatula, fork or masher, smash until smooth and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (miso carries a good deal of salt). Transfer this mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a pastry tip (you can use any tip you want, I used a rosette tip) and pipe out the yolk mixture (about a tablespoon and half per egg white) into the cavity of each halved egg white in the tray. Garnish the top of the filling with a little bit of the shredded kimchi vegetables.

3. Heat the sesame oil on medium-high heat in a small saucepan. Add the mushrooms and black pepper and cook until crispy. Transfer the mushrooms to a clean paper towel to drain excess oil. Place one mushroom on top of each egg and garnish with a little bit of the toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

  1. Very fun making crab stuffed mushrooms, and mushrooms stuffed with cream cheese mixed with spicy sausage and a visit under the broiler till cheese bubbles and briwns…SO good 🙂

  2. Normally my reaction to deviled eggs is accompanied by a mental picture of my husband popping them in his mouth, one after another, like grapes. But the miso makes these sound good!

    Most unusual appetizer is also the most redneck thing I’ve ever eaten: jar of pepper jelly poured over a brick of cream cheese. I repeatedly questioned what was happening and who I was becoming as I demolished half of it with the help of a pile of multigrain chips.

  3. Deviled eggs are my favorite dish to bring to a gathering – though my version is quite standard. The most unusual food I’ve tried at a party recently were chocolate chip bacon cookies. Unusual and tasty!

  4. Anchovy–puff pastry bites, where anchovy fillets had been almost laminated into puff pastry, then cut into sticks, and baked.

    These look so good Nik! Miso and kimchi = 2 of my favorite flavors!

  5. Nik, these flavors are incredible! I like the uniqueness on an old classic:) One of my favorite party nibbles, hot smoked scallops with fennel-horseradish cream. Mmm, now I want that and these deviled eggs at my next party!

  6. I would say the most unusual party appetizer I have ever eaten were mini pork sliders made over an open fire pit– with the pig, Apple in mouth, staring me down! What a great giveaway! I’d love to win! Keep up the great work!

  7. Don’t have an odd app to share. Just that since we have got chickens unique deviled eggs has been my favorite to make, utilizing the sustainable gifts our girls provide! Can’t wait to try this with our fresh eggs! Thank you for the beautiful recipe!
