How to make deviled eggs—no mayo!
This recipe calls for heavy cream as a substitute for mayonnaise in deviled eggs. Sour cream works really well too.
Half and half works in a pinch, but regular milk makes the filling grainy.
I like the kick of spicy horseradish in deviled eggs. I use Silver Spring horseradish, which is spicy enough to burn your sinuses if you eat it straight, but just adds a nice flavor when its heat is diffused by the eggs and cream. If your horseradish is blah (or you just want to make the egg filling spicier), add 1/4–1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper to the filling.
I use my food processor (this is my favorite food processor—and it’s cheap!) because it breaks down the horseradish strands better than a hand mixer can.
I hesitate to call this a recipe, because making deviled eggs is not rocket science; just take it slowly when adding the liquid ingredients so the filling doesn’t get too loose.
