Sweet Honey Deviled Eggs with Fennel Fronds

If you’re in search of a quick and easy recipe to prepare deviled eggs, this one is a perfect option. You can either use pre-shelled hard-boiled eggs from the store or hard-boil eggs at home. This simple and flavorful recipe includes a mix of sweet honey and spicy brown mustard, along with finely chopped fennel fronds that offer a hint of freshness and a pop of green color. Additionally, this recipe is an excellent way to utilize fennel fronds that might otherwise go to waste.

Chances are, that if you invite me to a last-minute party, you’re more than likely going to get last-minute deviled eggs. What exactly are last-minute deviled eggs? Last-minute deviled eggs are deviled eggs that are made with whatever I happen to have on hand, and, nine times out of ten, they’ll be made with store-bought pre-shelled hard-boiled eggs because I didn’t have enough older eggs on hand to hard-boil and easily peel.

Now, does this mean that these last-minute eggs aren’t as delicious as my “normal” deviled eggs? Not really. However, it does mean that they’ll be on the smaller side since pretty much every store-bought pre-shelled hard-boiled egg I’ve been able to find is only medium size. Seriously, it’s one of my biggest egg complaints. And, yes, I’m that girl. The girl who, way too often, actually has egg complaints and isn’t ashamed to share them with the world.

As far as I can determine, the only sensible reason for egg companies to sell these smaller eggs in pre-shelled hard-boiled form is that they are just way too stinking tiny to be sold in a normal carton of eggs. I mean, seriously y’all, these lil’ eggs are puny. They do, however, make the perfect wee deviled egg appetizer when you’re in a rush and need something to bring to a party, especially if you have some fennel fronds leftover from a bulb of fennel in your fridge.

Ingredients:

• 12 Medium Hard-Boiled Eggs
• 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise (Additional As Needed)
• 1 Tablespoon Honey
• 1 Teaspoon Spicy Brown Mustard
• 1/4 Teaspoon Finely Ground Black Pepper (Additional for Garnish)
• 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Fennel Fronds, Very Finely Chopped

Directions:

1. Halve the deviled eggs lengthwise, placing the yolks into a medium-sized bowl.
2. Add the mayonnaise, honey, spicy brown mustard, pepper, and salt. Mix until smooth. Add more mayonnaise, a tablespoon at a time, until you get the perfect desired deviled egg consistency.
3. Spoon the filling into the well of each egg, or fill a resealable bag with the filling, snip off the end, and then pipe the mixture into the well of each egg.
4. Sprinkle each egg with a little bit of pepper.
5. Garnish the deviled eggs with the chopped fennel fronds.

Suggestions:

• I used store-bought pre-shelled hard-boiled eggs for this recipe. However, if you would like to save money and hard-boil your own eggs, CLICK HERE to see the best way to hard-boil eggs.
• Usually, I use extra-large eggs when making deviled eggs. Unfortunately, store-bought pre-shelled hard-boiled eggs only come in medium size. If you are using smaller or larger eggs, you may need to adjust the amount of mayonnaise used in this recipe.
• If your filling does become too runny, try adding extra hard-boiled egg yolks. It’s never a bad idea to boil a few extra eggs or grab an extra bag of store-bought pre-shelled hard-boiled eggs when you’re making deviled eggs. If you mess up one or two eggs while peeling them, you’ll have a couple to use as replacements. And, if you’re filling is too runny, you can use the extra yolks to solve that dilemma.
• Before filling the egg halves, taste the filling to see if it needs additional salt. Different brands of mustard contain various amounts of salt.

Improvements:

• Need a few fennel recipes to help you utilize the fennel bulb? Try this Maple Sausage, Sliced Fennel, & Gouda Quiche, this Quinoa Salad with Fennel & Garbanzo Beans, or this Buttermilk Corn, Pea, & Fennel Ranch Salad.
• Replace the chopped fennel fronds in this recipe with very finely chopped fresh parsley, chives, or dill.
• Instead of spicy brown mustard, use Dijon mustard or whole-grain mustard.
