Ingredients

Deviled Eggs

12 hard boiled eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper

Toppings - these amounts are for 4-5 deviled eggs per topping

2 tablespoons taco meat , cooked
2 tablespoons queso fresco , crumbled
Pinch of smoked paprika
1 strip smoked salmon (lox)
1 chive , snipped
1 tablespoons capers , drained
1 tablespoons pickled red onion
4 shrimp , cooked
1 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
1 cornichon , thinly sliced
1 tablespoons bacon , crumbled
1 tablespoons potato sticks
El Yucateco Hot Sauce

Instructions

Cut the hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise and pop out of the yolk into one dish and egg whites onto another plate.
Make egg yolks as smooth as possible using a ricer, potato masher, grater or just a fork.
Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, slowly add mayonnaise, whipping between each addition.
When fully incorporated, add white vinegar, Dijon mustard, Kosher salt and white pepper. If you want to add 1-2 teaspoons of hot sauce directly to the filling, fold it in now.
Fill egg whites with filling using a piping bag, an airtight plastic bag or just spoon into the shells.
For taco eggs: evenly divide the cooked taco meat, queso fresco and dust each with smoked paprika.
For lox eggs: Snip the lox into bite-sized pieces and arrange in the filling, top each with 3-4 capers, a piece of pickled red onion and garnish with chives.
For spicy shrimp eggs: nestle one shrimp into the filling. I remove the tail so it can be eaten in one bite. Add blue cheese crumbles.
For crunchy and salty eggs: add 2-3 slices of cornichons to each egg, 3-4 potato sticks and evenly divide the bacon between eggs.
Add hot sauce or offer it on the side as optional.
