Variation of the standard deviled egg recipe
Really, this recipe is mayo-free. These should not exactly devilled eggs – oeuf mimosa as we name them in France – as the standard recipe is made with mayonnaise, not cream cheese.
I used the French Saint Morêt, however Philadelphia is ideal too for this recipe. It offers a creamy texture I feel fits greatest right here. If you wish to follow actual deviled eggs, you’ll be able to substitute this ingredient for mayonnaise and even contemporary goat cheese.
Beetroot for beet dyed coloration and style
Solely a small amount of cooked pink beet is critical to present numerous flavors and a subtile style to the dish.

Easter in France
Eggs are on the French desk for Easter, not solely as chocolate eggs children will like to seek for in taking a look at every hidden place in the home or the backyard.
Many starters use eggs, usually as a starter: Œuf en cocotte (I suggest a recipe with blue cheese), combined salad with small cute quail hard-boiled eggs.
There’s even delis with entire hard-boiled eggs in. Referred to as pâté berrichon because it’s named after the area of France it originates, it’s made with puff pastry full of pâté and hard-boiled eggs.
There are additionally most important dishes with eggs, however lamb is conventional for Easter. In my household, we wish to serve a slow-cooked 7-hour leg of lamb. The meat is sooo tender!
