According to chef Nelson Serrano-Bahri, to achieve perfect yolks for deviled eggs, boil them for 9-10 minutes, reducing the standard 10-12 minutes. He emphasizes that the yolks should be fully cooked yet moist to prevent dryness. The ideal filling for deviled eggs is creamy yet requires minimal mayo, which is achievable with properly cooked yolks. Overcooking makes the yolks dry, resulting in a less desirable texture. Mastering the perfect timing yields delicious results.
Chef Serrano-Bahri also stresses that immediately placing the boiled eggs in an ice bath is crucial. This halts the cooking process and simplifies peeling, an often frustrating part of making deviled eggs. By stopping the cooking process quickly, you not only achieve the perfect yolk texture, but you also avoid the common issue of egg whites sticking to the shell. This technique enhances the overall presentation and eases preparation.
