Black Truffle Deviled Eggs with Crispy Prosciutto
Course Appetizer
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon black truffle oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
  • Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Arrange the whites on a serving plate.
  • Add the mayonnaise, black truffle oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mash and stir until smooth.
  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the prosciutto slices. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until crisp, then remove and break into small pieces.
  • Top each filled egg with crispy prosciutto pieces and a sprinkle of chopped chives before serving.

Notes

Cook the prosciutto just until it turns golden and snaps easily, as it can burn quickly in the pan. Use a light hand with the truffle oil since its flavor intensifies as the eggs sit. These eggs taste best when assembled within an hour of serving so the prosciutto stays crisp.
