Description
California Roll Deviled Eggs offer a creative twist on the classic deviled egg by incorporating flavors inspired by the iconic California sushi roll. This recipe features hard-boiled eggs filled with a creamy wasabi-infused yolk mixture, topped with fresh crab meat, thin slices of avocado, cucumber, radishes, and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 1 dozen eggs
Filling
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cooked crab meat
Garnishes
- 1 avocado (thinly sliced)
- ½ cucumber (thinly sliced)
- Radishes (thinly sliced, quantity as desired)
- Black sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs stand covered for 13 minutes to cook through.
- Cool the eggs: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to an ice-water bath. Leave them until cold to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel and halve the eggs: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice each one lengthwise in half. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
- Prepare the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Stir in the mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and salt until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined.
- Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the hollowed egg whites with the prepared yolk mixture, distributing it evenly among all the egg halves.
- Add toppings and garnish: Top each filled egg half with a small amount of cooked crab meat. Garnish with thin slices of avocado, cucumber, radishes, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds to mimic the California roll flavors and add visual appeal.
Notes
- For perfectly boiled eggs, ensure the eggs are fresh but not too new for easier peeling.
- Wasabi paste can be adjusted according to your heat preference or replaced with horseradish for a milder kick.
- Use fresh crab meat or good-quality imitation crab as per availability.
- These deviled eggs are best served chilled and consumed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
- The black sesame seeds add a subtle nutty flavor and make the presentation more authentic to the California roll inspiration.
