A creamy, tangy deviled egg charcuterie board that combines savory meats, fresh veggies, and flavorful cheeses for an easy, elegant party centerpiece.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (fresh, free-range preferred)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (80 ml)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (5 ml)
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar (5 ml)
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika (for garnish)
  • Chives or fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • 8 oz assorted deli meats (prosciutto, salami, soppressata)
  • Small jar pickles (cornichons or dill pickles)
  • 1/2 cup marinated olives (green and black mixed, about 75 g)
  • 6 oz assorted cheeses (goat cheese, aged cheddar, gouda)
  • 1 cup fresh veggies (cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, radishes, about 150 g)
  • Crackers or baguette slices (for serving)
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary sprigs, optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 10 minutes. Gently tap and peel each egg under running water.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  4. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves, swirling slightly for an attractive look.
  6. Arrange deviled eggs in the center or focal area of your charcuterie board. Surround with slices of prosciutto, salami, chunks of cheese, bowls of olives and pickles, and fresh veggies. Add crackers or baguette slices along the edges.
  7. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the eggs, add chopped chives or parsley on top, and tuck fresh herb sprigs around the board for color and aroma.

Notes

Keep deviled eggs covered and chilled for up to 24 hours before serving. Add garnishes just before serving to keep fresh. Use an ice bath immediately after boiling to prevent green rings around yolks. Adjust mayo quantity to keep filling fluffy but firm. Piping bag recommended for neat presentation but spoon works fine.
