To make this deviled egg recipe using caviar you will need American caviar, six large week old eggs, two tablespoons sour cream or crème fraiche, half of a finely chopped shallot, two tablespoon minced capers and one tablespoon of minced fresh chives or dill, a dash of cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to taste.  For the caviar you can choose from California Royal White Sturgeon or Hackleback Sturgeon Caviar. These ingredients will yield approximately 12 devilled eggs.

To turn your eggs into a gourmet sensation, the chefs from What’s cooking America suggest that it takes only 30 minutes from start to finish.  They also recommend centering the yokes in the eggs by storing them on their sides in the refrigerator for at least twelve hours before cooking. Afterwards, hard-cook the eggs by bringing a pan of water to a simmer before gently placing them in the pan. Cook for 8 minutes.  Drain the eggs and let them cool off until slightly warm in a bucket of ice water before peeling.

After completely removing the shells; chill the eggs in ice water again.  This will retain the vibrant yellow color of the yokes.  Carefully slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks.  Using a spatula, push the yolks through a strainer into a bowl.  Add the sour cream or crème fraiche, shallot, capers, chives or cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until creamy.  Fold in additional crème fraiche, if necessary, to achieve a buttery consistency. Pipe the egg yolk mixture into the halved egg white shells.

Be sure to use a mother of pearl spoon to top each devilled egg with a dollop of caviar.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  You can also purchase the gourmet accessories you need when you buy caviar online.
