These Boursin Deviled Eggs are a fun twist on the classic recipe! With creamy Boursin cheese mixed into the yolks, they are extra rich and flavorful.
These tasty bites are perfect for parties or snacks. I can’t resist the creamy goodness—how many can you eat in one sitting? I’d keep count, but I usually lose track! 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Large eggs work best for this recipe as they provide a good amount of yolk to mix with the Boursin. If you have no large eggs, medium eggs can work, but adjust your cooking time slightly.
Boursin Cheese: This creamy cheese is what makes these deviled eggs special. If you can’t find Boursin, you can substitute with other cream cheeses mixed with garlic and herbs or try flavored goat cheese for a tangy twist!
Mayonnaise: I recommend using regular mayonnaise for a creamy texture. If you’re looking for a healthier option, Greek yogurt or avocado can replace mayo while still keeping it creamy.
Dijon Mustard: Although Dijon adds a lovely tang, yellow mustard will work too if it’s what you have. You could also skip it if you prefer a milder flavor.
How Do I Boil Eggs Perfectly for Deviled Eggs?
Boiling eggs can be tricky, but here’s how to do it just right:
- Start with cold water in your saucepan and make sure the eggs are in a single layer.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil, then remove the pan from heat and cover it.
- Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes, depending on your preferred firmness of yolk.
- After that time, move them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
With these steps, you’ll have perfectly cooked eggs ready for your deviled egg masterpiece!
Boursin Deviled Eggs Recipe
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 oz Boursin cheese (Garlic and Herb flavor recommended)
- 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Estimated Time:
This recipe will take about 15 minutes of active prep time and 30 minutes to chill before serving. The total time is approximately 45 minutes, including cooking and cooling the eggs!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
Start by placing the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover them with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. This will give you perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
2. Cool the Eggs:
When the time is up, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool completely for about 5 minutes. This will make peeling them much easier!
3. Prepare the Filling:
Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add in the Boursin cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Don’t forget to taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking!
4. Fill the Egg Whites:
Now it’s time to fill the egg whites! You can use a piping bag for a fancy look or simply spoon the creamy filling in. Make sure each egg is generously filled!
5. Garnish and Chill:
Lightly sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color. If you like, add a small sprig of fresh dill on top for garnish. Place the deviled eggs in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Now you’re ready to enjoy these delicious Boursin deviled eggs as an appetizer or snack at your next gathering! They’re sure to be a hit!
Can I Use Different Cheese Instead of Boursin?
Absolutely! If you don’t have Boursin on hand, you can substitute it with cream cheese mixed with garlic and herbs, or even flavored goat cheese for a distinct taste.
How Long Do Deviled Eggs Last in the Fridge?
These deviled eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Just make sure they’re well covered to keep them fresh!
Can I Make These Deviled Eggs Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can make the filling a day ahead and store it separately from the egg whites. When you’re ready to serve, just fill the whites and garnish. This helps maintain the best texture!
What Should I Serve with Boursin Deviled Eggs?
These eggs pair wonderfully with a variety of appetizers! Consider serving them alongside crackers, a veggie platter, or even a charcuterie board for a well-rounded snack spread.
