November 23, 2020 – Just in time for Thanksgiving, or for your next party or holiday gathering, learn to make Baby Yoda deviled eggs.
And don’t feel guilty eating these cute tyrant creations – after all, the little devil eats other creatures’ eggs as well.
This easy-to-make recipe requires the following ingredients:
- 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 1/4 c. mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tsp. yellow mustard
- Half an avocado
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Celery (for the ears) or other green vegetable
- Peppercorns (for the eyes) or bits of black olive
- Icing bag – or use a sandwich bag (cut off the corner tip)
- Icing tip, large round
How to assemble:
Peel the hard boiled eggs and, using a non-serrated knife, slice each egg lengthwise.
Remove the yolks into a medium bowl and mash them up. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, mashed avocado, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl with the boiled egg yolks. Mix well and mash your mixture until creamy smooth. (Large chunks will clog the icing tip, so mash them well.)
Fill your icing bag with the avocado-yolk mixture. Set aside.
Cut small pieces of celery (or other hard green vegetable) about 1/2 inch in length, then cut it in half length wise. Next, cut the small piece of celery in half diagonally to make a triangle for an ear. Repeat this process to create a small pie of ears.
Take one of the egg white halves and slice it in half across the middle. (This will be the top of Baby Yoda’s pod.)
Now the real fun begins – insert Baby Yoda into his pod:
Take half a boiled egg white and, using your icing bag, pipe or fill in the middle of the half-egg with the avocado-yolk mixture. Toward the end of the egg where there is a larger amount of egg white, add an extra mound of the mixture for Baby Yoda’s head.
Next, take a quartered piece of boiled egg white and place it, inverted, behind Baby Yoda’s head toward the back of the egg.
Insert two celery triangles (or other hard green vegetable) and stick them in the sides of Baby Yoda’s head for the ears. Lastly, insert two peppercorns (or bits of black olives) to create Baby Yoda’s eyes.
Repeat the process to create additional Baby Yodas. [Recipe credit: popcornerreviews.com]
TIP: You can make the deviled eggs up to two days in advance. The key is to keep the whites and egg yolk-avocado filling separate. Wrap the egg white halves well with plastic wrap and keep the egg yolk-avocado filling sealed in a resealable plastic bag with all the air squeezed out.
