Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish
  • Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • 810 oz assorted cured meats (prosciutto, soppressata, salami, chorizo)
  • 8 oz selection of cheeses (sharp cheddar, brie, goat cheese)
  • Mixed olives (green and black, pitted)
  • Pickles and cornichons
  • Roasted nuts (almonds or Marcona almonds)
  • Fresh fruit (grapes, figs, or sliced apples)
  • Crackers and sliced baguette
  • Optional: honey or fig jam
  • Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme
  • Optional: vegetable crudités such as baby carrots or cucumber slices

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover pot, and let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.
  2. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into a bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Transfer yolk mixture into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe filling back into egg white halves or spoon it in.
  5. Sprinkle deviled eggs with paprika and chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish.
  6. On a large serving board or platter, place deviled eggs as the centerpiece. Arrange sliced charcuterie and cheeses around them, alternating colors and textures.
  7. Fill small bowls with olives, nuts, and jams and place them strategically on the board.
  8. Fill gaps with crackers, sliced baguette, and fresh fruit like grapes or figs. Scatter fresh herbs for a festive touch.
  9. Step back and adjust for balance of colors, shapes, and flavors. Serve immediately or cover loosely and refrigerate until guests arrive.

Notes

Hard boil eggs and prepare filling a day ahead for convenience. Use older eggs or add baking soda to boiling water for easier peeling. Thinly slice cured meats for best texture. Assemble table shortly before serving for freshness. Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado for a lighter filling. Use gluten-free crackers and breads if needed.
