Crumbled crispy bacon and chopped celery for extra flavour and texture
HOMEMADE CAESAR RIM SPICE BLEND - enough to make about 10 cocktails, or definitely ALL the eggs! We recommend making extra and saving in a mason jar!
2Tbsp.celery salt
1Tbsp.salt
1Tbsp.smoked paprika
1tsp.ground black pepper
1tsp.garlic powder
1tsp.onion powder
½tsp.cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spiciness)
Zest of 1 lemon or lime (optional, for extra citrus flavour)
Instructions
Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of simmering, salty water and letting them cook gently for about 10 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the pot and place them in icy cold water to cool.
Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are finely crumbled.
Add your mayo, clamato juice, tabasco, salt and pepper and mix everything until it’s smooth and creamy.
Taste. Adjust. Maybe add in a few bits of the celery, saving the rest for a garnish.
Dip each hollowed egg half in a plate or dish of the Caesar spice rim blend to coat, then spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg halves, until you’ve used up all the filling.
Top with bits of celery and bacon crisps and if you wish to add a tiny bit more Caesar spice to the top, go for it!
Place the devilled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving.
Enjoy your Caesar cocktail-inspired devilled eggs as a tasty appetizer!
