Deviled Potatoes Recipe (Vegan Deviled Eggs) (2024)

FAQs

What are vegan deviled eggs made of? ›

The yolk mixture will be super flavorful thanks to Nutritional Yeast, Miso Paste, Garlic Powder, MSG (or salt), Mustard, Turmeric, and White Wine Vinegar. We'll also use some Vegan Mayo of course. The base will be tofu however, and the kind of tofu does make a difference in the final texture.

Prep deviled eggs too far in advance, and you'll have dried out filling and stinky boiled egg whites. For the best results, prep your deviled eggs up to two days in advance and keep the egg whites and filling separate until you're ready to serve. This prepping method also applies if you're not even leaving the house.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make, according to Kitchn, is using too much mayonnaise. Too much mayo will seriously overpower the taste of the yolk and, at the same time, it'll also ruin the texture. Remember, the filling gets piped on, and if it's runny it'll be a lot harder to work with.

To thicken up runny deviled egg filling, adding in some extra egg yolks is the first easy fix to try. This method thickens up the base of the filling without altering the taste. Now for a more out-of-the-box (literally) fix, try mixing some instant mashed potatoes into your filling instead.

Vegan eggs are usually plant-based alternatives that mimic the texture and function of traditional eggs without using animal products. Common ingredients in vegan egg substitutes include tofu, chickpea flour, flaxseed, chia seeds, and various plant-based ingredients.

This amount can vary depending on the crowd size and how many appetizers are served at the same time. If you have a smaller group of 4-12 people, 2-3 deviled eggs per person are plenty, but you may want to reduce the serving size to just 2 for larger crowds and if other appetizers are present.

If you preferred to have no mustard flavor, a prepared curry powder or paste adds delicious flavor to deviled eggs. You could also reach for sriracha, smoked paprika, harissa, horseradish, wasabi, pesto, pureed avocado, pickle relish, I could go on forever.

Making them too far in advance. Deviled eggs can be watery, dry, or lose flavor the longer they sit, so don't make them too far in advance. For the best results, prep your eggs and make the filling up two days in advance, and store them separately. Assemble the eggs before serving.

Standard deviled eggs are undeniably good, but adding a touch of tomato paste and a generous pinch of smoked paprika makes them a bit more sophisticated. The flavor is gently sweet, forcefully spicy and perfectly smoky.

What if I put too much vinegar in my deviled eggs? ›

The bottom line is that you can use either Miracle Whip or mayo for deviled eggs. Both will do the same thing - make the yolk filling creamy.

The eggs may be overcooked or undercooked. Sometimes, hard-boiled eggs are impossible to peel, and fillings can turn out lumpy or gloopy with too much mayonnaise.

If you basically steam eggs instead of boiling them, the whites will be softer and less hard/rubbery. And if you pressure-cook-steam them in a pressure cooker, they can be even less hard/rubbery than that (and also peel reeeallly easily).

Also not setting a timer while boiling the eggs can lead to overcooked, dry, crumbly eggs. Peeling the eggs while they are hot causes the shell to stick to the egg and you end up burning your hands. Using a fork to make the egg filling leaves you with a lumpy and chunky mixture when you are all done.

Flour and Water Slurry

To make this egg substitute for frying, combine 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of water until the mixture is lump free. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon of salt if desired. Use this mixture as you would regular eggs when frying foods.

The idea is that Les Merveilloeufs' eggs will act as a direct replacement for traditional eggs. You can scramble them, boil them, fry them, and, eventually, add them to cake mixture. “Marveilloeufs can be eaten in exactly the same ways as hens' eggs,” said Soulères and Thavisouk.
