"The addition of curry powder to this nutritious snack or appetizer adds an anti-inflammatory boost providing fantastic flavour. Finely grating the egg yolks before mixing them with the mayo helps achieve a silky-smooth texture and decreases the need for more mayo. Cutting the eggs crosswise is a fun, modern way to serve them. Making the filling first and letting sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, gives it time for all ingredients to blend together! And then fill the egg cups."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.

Step 2

Bring to a rapid boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand for 12 minutes.

Step 3

Fill a medium bowl with ice water and transfer eggs to the ice-water bath and let stand for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the shallot, mayo, mustard, lemon juice, curry powder, salt to taste (about 1/8 tsp), cayenne and 2 tsp of the cilantro. Set aside.

Step 5

Crack each egg and carefully remove the shell.

Step 6

Using a very sharp knife, cut a very thin portion off the top and bottom of the egg to create flat surfaces, then halve each egg crosswise.

Step 7

Carefully remove the yolks from the whites, then place the white, flat-side down, on a serving platter.

Step 8

Using a microplane or box grater, finely grate the egg yolks and add the mayo mixture.

Step 9

Either spoon the mixture into the egg whites or transfer mixture to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe into the egg whites.

Step 10

Garnish with the remaining cilantro.

Step 11

Store in a covered container in the refrigeratior for up to 8 hours.

These were great!! I didn't have fresh cilantro, just the kind in a tube, so I sprinkled cajun salt on top. I did add the cilantro to the egg yolk mix, so the flavor was still present. Both DH and I love deviled eggs and these hit the spot!!
