Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
  • Paprika (for dusting)
  • 1 large head of lettuce or cabbage (for the base)
  • 1 bouquet holder or floral foam block (food-safe)
  • Wooden skewers or toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately cover eggs with ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop the yolks into a bowl.
  3. Gently mash the yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. This tip helps create a decorative, flower-like appearance.
  5. Prepare your base: Secure the food-safe foam block inside a decorative container or use the core of a hollowed-out cabbage head. This will act as the anchor for your bouquet.
  6. Pipe the yolk filling back into the egg white halves, creating a decorative swirl that resembles a flower bloom.
  7. Insert a wooden skewer or toothpick into the bottom of each filled egg half, ensuring the skewer is long enough to reach the base anchor.
  8. Arrange the filled eggs onto the foam base, inserting the skewers firmly into the anchor material to create a dense, bouquet shape. Position them at varying heights for visual interest.
  9. Dust the tops of the piped filling lightly with paprika. Sprinkle the exposed filling and egg whites with chopped chives for a green, leafy accent.
  10. Place the finished deviled egg bouquet on your party food arrangements table as an edible centerpiece.

Notes

  • For a gourmet deviled egg filling variation, add 1 teaspoon of horseradish or a pinch of curry powder to the yolk mixture.
  • Use a sturdy, wide-mouthed vase or a decorative bread basket lined with lettuce leaves as an alternative base for your display.
  • Make the egg whites ahead of time and store them covered in the refrigerator. Fill them no more than 2 hours before serving for best texture.
