Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs I use pasture raised*
  • 1 tablespoon scallions minced
  • 2 teaspoons grainy mustard
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 pinch smoked hot paprika more for sprinkling at the end
  • 1 pinch sea salt try Himalayan
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise one without "natural flavorings"
  • 6 tablespoons aged cheddar cheese grated, or aged gouda
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (more for garnish)
  • 12 thin slices purple scallions 1/8" inch (or green scallion if unavailable)
  • 6 whole Frico Cheese Crisps (see recipe)

Instructions

  • Make - hard boiled eggs, see recipe: How to Hard-Boil Eggs: Best Way Is To Steam Them! The Shells Will Just Slip Off!!
  • Cut the hard boiled eggs in half and remove the yolks from the egg halves, and place them in a small bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until fine and crumbly. Mix in the scallions, grainy mustard, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt and mayonnaise.
  • Place the mixture in a pastry bag and pipe the filling into each egg white half. Alternately, mound the filling neatly into the egg white halves.
    Garnish each egg with a thin slices of purple scallion, a few fresh thyme leaves and Frico Cheese Crisps.

Frico Cheese Crisps:

  • Make 6 Frico Cheese Crisps with Thyme (lacy cheese crisps): Can do as the Eggs steam.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper (or a silicone baking sheet.) Coarsely grate Parmesan Reggiano cheese, place 6 -1 T. mounds on the parchment, leave 2" space between them. Top with the thyme leaves.
  • Bake in the oven until crisp, spread and just lightly golden, about 5 - 7 minutes. Remove them to a wire rack and cool. Cut the Frico into halves or quarters, and garnish the deviled eggs.
