VIRGINIA'S DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• To hard-cook the eggs, place them in a saucepan and add water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat (you will see bubbles around the sides of the pot). Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 12 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse them under cold running water. Set aside to cool completely.
• To peel the eggs, once the eggs have cooked and cooled, remove the shells by tapping each egg gently on the counter or sink all over to crackle it. Roll an egg between your hands to loosen the shell. Peel, starting at the large end, while holding the egg under running cold water; this facilitates peeling and also removes any stray shell fragments.
• To prepare the filling, halve the peeled eggs lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks. Set the whites aside. Pass the yolks through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or place them in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Blend the yolks, mayonnaise, butter, mustard, and cayenne, and mix until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the finely chopped tarragon.
• Place the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a large star tip or use a medium sealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
• To assemble the eggs, when ready to serve, pipe the yolk mixture into the whites. Garnish with additional herbs and serve immediately.

• For the hard-boiled eggs: Fill a large, deep saucepan with a tight-fitting lid with 2 inches of cold water. Place the eggs in it and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Immediately turn off the heat and cover with the lid. Let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water.

• Line a large serving platter with the greens.
• For the pickles and capers: Add the mayonnaise, chopped capers, mustard and gherkins to one of the bowls of yolks and mash together until thoroughly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among 8 egg halves. Top each with some capers and place on the platter.
• For the wasabi and ginger: Add the mayonnaise and wasabi to the second bowl of yolks and mash together. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among 8 egg halves. Top each with a slice of pickled ginger and a small piece of cucumber and place on the platter.
• For the sesame carrot: Add the mayonnaise, sesame oil, sesame seeds and carrot to the remaining bowl of yolks and mash together. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among the remaining 8 egg halves. Top each with more sesame seeds and place on the platter.
