Bloody Mary devilled eggs are a favourite creative deviled egg idea. They take the concept of traditional eggs and add in rich ingredients like slaw dressing, pickle juice, tomato paste, paprika, and more, to make a unique gourmet deviled eggs with a Bloody Mary feel.
Loaded deviled eggs such as these Bloody Mary eggs are always a welcome part of the breakfast or brunch table. They’re also a handy snack at any time since you can make these unique gourmet deviled eggs ahead.
Ingredients for Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs
The eggs are the main ingredients in Bloody Mary deviled eggs and I like to use large ones. You will also need slaw dressing, pickle juice, steak sauce, tomato paste, garlic paste, celery salt, black pepper, red onion, and celery.
The egg rim is made with lemon juice, celery salt and paprika. For the garnish you’ll need bacon bits, diced pickles and celery leaves.
How to Make Loaded Deviled Eggs
The first thing to do for these unique gourmet deviled eggs is to boil them. I like to cover the eggs in a pan with cold water then bring it to a boil, cover the pan and take it off the heat. Keep the lid on for 6 minutes then plunge the eggs into an egg bath. They will be cooked perfectly with no need to keep the water simmering.
Peel the boiled eggs when they’re cool then cut them in half lengthwise and put the yolks in a dish. Combine paprika and celery salt on a plate. Dip the cut side of the egg whites in the lemon juice and then in the paprika mixture.
Mash the slaw dressing, pickle juice, teak sauce, tomato paste, garlic, salt, pepper, red onion, and celery with the egg yolks. Pipe this mixture into each egg white half. Garnish with bacon bits, pickle and a celery leaf. Chill for 20 minutes or so, then serve the Bloody Mary eggs.
Tweaks and Variations
I made these unique gourmet deviled eggs following the recipe exactly and they were delicious! But like most recipes you can always tweak them to put your own spin on the loaded deviled eggs. These Christmas Deviled Eggs are a great appetizer for the holiday season.
Possible changes include subbing regular salt for the celery salt, cayenne pepper for the paprika, BBQ sauce for the steak sauce, or red onion for shallots.
Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs FAQs
One reason I love this creative deviled egg idea is I can make them up to a couple of days ahead. So if you’re planning a special brunch, you might like to make these the day before to save time the following day. For the freshest result, don’t pipe in the filling or add the garnish until serving.
If you’re having them for breakfast or brunch, consider serving fresh fruit, toast or breakfast pastries on the side, as well as coffee of course. If you’re preparing them as a snack then they’re great just as they are.
Or you might want to make a platter of different appetizers like Bloody Mary deviled eggs, steak and shiitake bruschetta, cream cheese pick wraps, some cubes of cheese, and deli meats. Oh and they’d pair wonderfully with a Canadian Caesar cocktail!
Why are They Called Deviled Eggs?
It might surprise you to learn that deviled eggs were popular in ancient Rome. They were served at the start of meals with a spicy sauce. Later, in the 1200s, filled eggs began to make an appearance in the south of Spain. A cookbook from that time has a recipe where the egg yolks were flavoured with onion juice, cilantro, coriander, pepper, and fermented fish sauce.
However, modern style deviled eggs didn’t really come out until the late 1800s. A cookbook from 1896 included mashing the egg yolks with mayonnaise. Other names for deviled eggs include Russian eggs, stuffed eggs and dressed eggs. The word ‘deviled’ comes from a 1700s-era culinary expression for something made with spicy condiments.
Now of course this creative deviled egg idea is newer than that and today you can find unique gourmet deviled eggs in many restaurants. However the basic recipe really lends itself to tweaks and you will find all kind of add-ins work wonderfully with stuffed eggs. These Bloody Mary eggs are especially delicious though.
