So, recently, our friends invited us to a duck leg confit dinner party. I know, right? Fancy. Super fancy. Bougie as f…! Well, at least to us anyway. And, of course, this is the same group of friends that I am always “contracted” out to bring deviled eggs for, no matter the event. Anyway, my first thought was, “What on earth do you serve with duck confit?” From the feedback, I gathered that anything acidic to balance the duck fat would be a win. And after waiting to the very last day, the very last hour, the very last minute, and taking into account what I actually had on hand in my pantry and fridge, this is the recipe I came up with. Y’all, let me just say, these deviled eggs might be my new gold standard. Let there be heavenly praises to that big ol’ duck in the sky right now because these lil’ deviled eggs right here might just be some of THE BEST deviled eggs I’ve ever made. The brined yellow mustard seeds practically burst in your mouth, and the pickled carrots and onion add such a pop of zesty, zingy flavor. And when you add in the sprinkle of freshly grated black pepper, oh my dear lord…I don’t think it could get much better. Oh, and in case you were wondering, the duck leg confit dinner was absolutely dreamy heaven on earth. Who knew? I’m pretty sure that if I ever see duck on a menu, that’s what I’ll be ordering from now on.

Directions:

  1. Place the yellow mustard seeds and the giardiniera brine in a tiny bowl. Allow to soak for 4 hours.
  2. After the yellow mustard seeds have soaked for 4 hours, halve the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise, placing the yolks into a medium-sized bowl.
  3. Mash the egg yolks with the tines of a fork.
  4. Add the pepper, salt, and honey to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise to the bowl. Stir well to combine. Fold the yellow mustard seeds and the giardiniera brine into the deviled egg filling. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of mayonnaise to achieve the perfect deviled egg consistency. Stir well to combine.
  6. Spoon the filling into each egg well, or fill a resealable bag with the filling, snip off the end, and then pipe the mixture into the well of each egg.
  7. Use a paper towel to pat any liquid off the pickled giardiniera carrots and pearl onions. Slice the carrots into small strips and the pearl onions into quarters. Garnish each deviled egg with two carrot strips and one quarter of a pearl onion.
  8. Garnish with an additional sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.

Suggestions:

  • CLICK HERE to see the best way to hard-boil eggs.
  • I usually use extra-large eggs when making deviled eggs. If you are using smaller eggs, you may need to adjust the amount of mayonnaise used in this recipe, to prevent the filling from turning runny.
  • I suggest adding the 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the filling last. Start with 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise and then add the yellow mustard seeds with the brine. You may or may not need the additional 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to reach the perfect deviled egg consistency.
  • For this recipe, I only used giardiniera carrots and pearl onions. Most giardiniera also includes celery, cauliflower, and red peppers. Feel free to garnish the eggs with those if you choose.
  • Pat any excess brine off the carrots and pearl onions with a paper towel so they won’t add moisture to the deviled egg filling.
