Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs w/ Almonds & Honey

These deviled eggs elevate a classic appetizer. They offer a sophisticated blend of creamy, tangy goat cheese filling. They have a delicate, sweet honey finish. Perfect to invite to the charcuterie board.

Featured Standouts

Goat Cheese

Goat cheese offers a rich, creamy texture. It has a distinct, piquant tang that beautifully complements the other flavors. Its unique character sets these deviled eggs apart from traditional recipes. Although rich the goat cheese enhances the creamy texture of the yolks

Stone Ground Mustard

Stone ground mustard provides a sharp, assertive bite. This quality cuts through the creaminess of the goat cheese and egg yolk. It adds depth and a touch of savory complexity. The coarse texture of stone ground mustard also contributes to a more interesting mouthfeel.

Honey

A subtle sweetness from a drizzle of honey harmonizes with the tang of the goat cheese. It also complements the sharpness of the mustard. Together, these elements create a balanced and nuanced flavor profile. This profile is both intriguing and incredibly delicious.

Toasted Almonds

A sprinkle of finely chopped toasted almonds on top offers a delightful crunchy texture, contrasting with the smooth filling. Toasting the almonds enhances their nutty flavor, adding another layer of complexity to the dish.

TIPS & TRICKS FOR THE BEST GOAT CHEESE DEVILED EGGS WITH ALMOND & HONEY

Toasting Almonds

For the best flavor, toast your almonds gently in a dry pan over medium heat. Stir them frequently to prevent any bitterness. Continue until they are just golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to over-toast them.

Piping vs. Spooning

For a truly elegant and polished presentation, use a piping bag to fill the egg white halves. Ensure it’s fitted with a star or round tip. This creates beautiful swirls and ensures even portions. If you prefer a more rustic and homey charm, simply spoon the filling into the egg whites. Both methods yield delicious results, so choose the one that suits your style.

Egg Preparation

For perfect hard-boiled eggs, consider using an ice bath immediately after cooking. This helps them to be easy to peel and have vibrant, centered yolks. Peeling them under cold running water can also aid in easier removal of the shell.

Chilling for Flavor

These deviled eggs are delicious served immediately. Allow them to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors will meld and deepen, resulting in a more satisfying taste experience.

Garnish Options

Beyond toasted almonds, consider other garnishes to enhance both the visual appeal and flavor. A light dusting of paprika, fresh chives, or a tiny sprig of dill can add a touch of color. These garnishes also provide a fresh herbal note.
