The Devil’s in the Details

I love a good detail. Like the cornichon in these Pumpkin Spiced Deviled Eggs. They look like such inviting, delicious little pumpkins, ready to be gobbled up at your Friendsgiving dinner. So cute, right? Deviled eggs are a staple at our Thanksgiving dinners, and I was so excited to add a fun twist to a family favorite.

You’ll want to prepare in advance by making hard-boiled eggs. My Basics by The BakerMama tutorial makes hard-boiling eggs easy and fool-proof! And they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. The addition of pumpkin puree makes these deviled eggs some of the smoothest you’ll ever sink your teeth into. And a hint of nutmeg adds just the right touch for a fall celebration.

How to Make Pumpkin Spiced Deviled Eggs

First, slice the peeled hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and place the whites on a serving platter. Then mash the yolks with a fork. Add mayonnaise, pumpkin puree, spicy brown mustard, white vinegar, salt, pepper, paprika and nutmeg. Mix well until smooth. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper, if desired. Then, either using a small spoon or a baggie snipped at the corner, fill the inside of the egg whites with the yolk mixture.

Place cornichon above the yolk mixture to look like a stem. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Finally, garnish with paprika just before serving. Enjoy!
