Author Notes

Deviled eggs, meet Caesar salad. You're going to love each other. Recipe excerpted with permission from Something Old, Something New by Tamar Adler, published by Scribner (April 2018). —Food52

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a tiny bit for garlic
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 leaves romaine lettuce, very thinly sliced
Directions
  1. Put the eggs in a pot and fill with cold water to cover. Bring the water to a boil, covered, then shut off the heat and wait 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of your eggs. Run under cold water or dunk in ice water.
  2. Peel and halve them, vertically, and scoop the yolks into a bowl.
  3. Roughly chop the garlic and smash it to a paste with a small pinch of salt in a mortar or on a cutting board. Finely chop the anchovies and mix well with the garlic. Add to the yolks along with the Parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, and mix. Taste and adjust. Add the romaine, mix well, and using a small spoon, fill the waiting egg whites with the mixture. These can be chilled for a few hours. Bring to room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

I had high hopes for this recipe, I was testing it out before I made it for Thanksgiving festivities. The filling is far too loose made with olive oil, maybe subbing mayo would help. The flavor is very Parmesan strong, it overpowers everything else. The picture does not represent the recipe as the romaine in placed on top as a garnish and not mixed in as instructed. I think on top is more appetizing. Overall a fail for me.

These sound like they would be great with a very dry martini...or an icy glass of beer. ;) Great idea.

reflecting on the recipe, i have two comments:

(1) would duck eggs be preferable, taste-wise, or just size-wise?

(2) how about sprinkling some toasted, parsleyed and garlicked panko crumbs over the completed stuffed eggs? that could supply a crouton-like crunch@
