Green Onion-Dijon Deviled Eggs

Finally! After two disappointing deviled egg recipes, I finally returned to one that people actually want to eat. The sour cream lemon disasters are long-forgotten, and the boring cream cheese deviled eggs are banished to the back of my mind, where I might think of some actually flavorful deviled egg recipe that includes the uniqueness of cream cheese as its base.

But these are very good. The original recipe I used called these "Dijon Deviled Eggs" but the dominant flavor, without a doubt, is the green onion. In fact, the Dijon mustard's lack of presence if the only real drawback to this recipe.

Here is the recipe:

6 hard-boiled eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 green onion, very thinly sliced (slice a little of the green and keep separate from the white)
few leaves of fresh flat-leaf parsley
freshly ground black pepper
salt, to taste
paprika, optional

1. Crumble egg yolks in bowl.
2. Add mayonnaise and Dijon mustard and combine.
3. Stir in white part of the onions and most of the chopped parsley.
4. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Fill egg whites with mixture and sprinkle with green part of onions and remaining parsely.
6. Sprinkle with a little pepper and/or paprika, if desired.

Above: adding the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped onions. Also: the final product, after garnished with green part of onion, chopped parsley, and a little pepper and paprika.

Review: these are actually very good, and a little different. Rather than traditional deviled eggs, where the dominant flavor is the mayonnaise or mustard, the dominant flavor here is the onions. The paprika really serves as more of a garnish, and the parsley looks nice but doesn't add much. But these are a little better than the traditional eggs, and pretty easy to make. I think, if making them again, I would add more Dijon mustard so that flavor becomes more notable - it's supposed to be there, I just didn't really taste it much.
