Imagine the creamy, tangy goodness of a classic deviled egg infused with the irresistible taste of maple sausage. Perfectly seasoned with mayonnaise, mustard, black pepper, and a touch of real maple syrup, these utterly delicious deviled eggs are garnished with a festive and flavorful sprinkle of fresh chives as well as a few slices of maple sausage. Whether you’re looking for a unique appetizer or a fun addition to your next brunch spread, these delightful breakfast-worthy deviled eggs are guaranteed to be a conversation starter.
I often have a complicated time deciding what category deviled eggs belong in. Are they an appetizer, a side dish, or dare I say, even a main dish? In this particular case, they fall into the breakfast category. Yes, that’s right; these deviled eggs are totally breakfast-worthy. Slap a few of them between a toasted English muffin, and you’ll have one doozy of a breakfast sandwich. That’s what I’m talking about. Deviled eggs for breakfast. Totally acceptable.
People often stare at me when they see me eating eggs for breakfast. I’m used to it. First of all, no one seems to understand that “dippity” is a word. That’s how I like my eggs. To most people, that means over-easy, but in my family, it is always “dippity.” Get used to it. Embrace it. That’s how eggs are meant to be enjoyed. But wait, there’s more. I can’t eat a “dippity” egg without using a fork to break open the yolky center, covering it in about 1/2-teaspoon of black pepper, and dousing the entire egg in pure maple syrup.
As a child, I was totally disgusted by egg yolks, and I stumbled upon this unique way to make them edible. Now, as an adult, I actually love egg yolks, but I am a creature of habit when it comes to my past egg-disguising ways. It drives B.O.B. Bob a wee bit crazy. He enjoys making fun of me and pointing out my odd habit to others. I don’t let it bother me however, because in the end, I’m the one who has to eat the egg, therefore I’m going to doctor that little sucker up just how I like it. It’s not like I’m forcing him to eat it after all. Maybe I’ll just have to drizzle a little extra maple syrup and an extra sprinkle of black pepper over these deviled eggs to really freak him out.
Ingredients:
- 12 Hard-Boiled Eggs
- 8 Maple Sausage Links
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Chives, Finely Chopped
Directions:
- Cut each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise, and place the yolks into a food processor.
- Add 3 very finely chopped sausage links to the food processor, along with the mayonnaise, syrup, mustard, and pepper. Purée until very smooth.
- Use a spoon or a large plastic bag with the end snipped off to place the filling into the well of each egg white.
- Garnish with chives and slices of the reserved sausage links.
Suggestions:
- Make sure to use pure maple syrup in this recipe. None of that fake sugar water allowed here. Use Grade B Maple Syrup for even more flavor.
- Brown your sausages the day before so that they will not be warm when added to the filling and used as garnish.
Improvements:
- Add 1/2-teapoon of hot sauce to the egg filling mixture.
- If you have any leftover deviled eggs, smash them up, slather them between two pieces of bread, and enjoy one scrummy sandwich.
