SMOKED TROUT DEVILED EGGS
I may have eggs for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even as snacks. These refined deviled eggs with a hint of retro and a spicy kick of smoked trout are mixed into the filling and make the perfect appetizer snack. They'll be the first to leave any gathering, combining the tantalizing taste of classic deviled eggs with the sultry aroma of smoke.
Smoked Forout Deviled Eggs are appearing on restaurant menus across the country, and I first heard about them in a casual chat with a co-worker. I've never come across a devil egg that I didn't like and knew I'd love before I tried it.I was right; I was intrigued after first mixing smoked salmon in boiled egg yolk with mayonnaise, mustard, a squeeze of lemon juice and pepper.

The sweet, smoky flavor of the fish is softened by the tangy flavor of the mustard and light lemon juice, giving the filling a distinctive and very tangy flavor.When preparing devil eggs, buy your eggs about a week in advance, as older eggs are easier to peel and look more attractive.(I didn't take my own advice in serializing these photos and ended up with sad, jagged specimens. Peeling the eggs under cold running water seemed to help with the harder-to-peel eggs.)Feel free to play with any other smoked fish you have on hand. The best version of these eggs I've ever made had a very greasy and rather expensive chunk of smoked whitefish, making the eggs extremely rich and flavorful.Beet-salad-with-dilled-yogurt-sauce.
