“No matter what else is served at a cocktail party, you will always find a tray of stuffed eggs,” wrote James Beard, the so-called dean of American gastronomy, in his first cookbook, Hors D'oeuvre And Canapes . The well-received appeal of these one-bite appetizers isn't limited to cocktail hour. They're also a superb addition to picnics and cookouts during the lazy, hazy days of summer. Deviled Eggs (follow the process in the gallery above) Recipe courtesy Sarah Simmons, the c hef and curator of City Grit Ingredients 6 eggs 2 tablespoons mayonnaise ( preferably homemade or Duke's ) 5 drops champagne vinegar 5 drops milk 2 pinches ground sumac Salt to taste Sriracha flakes, for garnish (recipe below) Cooking Directions Place eggs in a large pot and then add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch. Turn to medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, immediately remove the pot from the heat and cover with a lid for 11 minutes. Rinse eggs in cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Peel eggs and set aside. (Eggs are easier to peel if they are warm) Using a sharp knife, cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and mash them in a medium mixing bowl with a fork. Add mayonnaise, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Add the vinegar and milk. Whisk until smooth. (If you'd like a creamier egg, whisk in more milk until you've reached your desired consistency.) Add the sumac and stir with fork until combined well. Season to taste with salt Using a pastry bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off, pipe the mixture into the egg whites. (If you don't feel like piping, you can spoon the mixture into the egg whites.) Top with sriracha flakes. For the sriracha flakes : Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Using an offset spatula, spread 1/2 cup of sriracha on a Silpat- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Put in the oven and dehydrate for an hour. Remove from oven and put in a dry spot to cool. Once cool, break up the dehydrated sriracha into flakes.
