Mimosas

The French Deviled Egg With Homemade Aioli - Bites of Heaven

Not to be confused with the cocktail, although it would go nicely with this Mimosa, the French version of the deviled egg. The French named Mimosas after the mimosa tree, which has small yellow flowers. The grated egg yolk resembles the yellow flowers on the mimosa tree.

Ingredients

Hard-boiled eggs

Homemade mayonnaise or aioli

Instructions

1. Hard boil eggs - see the notes below for a tip

2. Peel the eggs

3. Remove the yolks from the hard-boiled eggs and set aside.

4. Fill the egg with homemade mayonnaise or aioli.

5. Use a cheese grater to grate the egg yolk on top of the eggs.

A second method is to cut the hard-boiled eggs in half and leave the yolk intact. Lay the eggs yolk side up on a plate and top with a generous dollop of homemade mayonnaise or aioli. This method is quicker and more convenient if you do not have a cheese grater.

Notes

Serve the Mimosas on a large platter or in small plastic spoons for entertaining. You can find the spoons here.

Get creative with your deviled eggs.  Serve them on top of slices of tomato and topped with shrimp and a leaf of fresh basil.

Dinner tip: When you have leftover homemade mayonnaise, boil eggs in the evening, and the next day it will take just minutes to plate your Mimosas. Serve with a salad with homemade Caesar dressing, or a bowl of soup, and some fruit for dessert.

I often cook "au pif," as we say in France, which means cooking without an exact recipe and by "feel" using your intuition.  You’ll often find guidelines in many recipes versus exact quantities.  Write to me here if you have any questions about the recipes.

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."
