I shared these Spinach Artichoke Deviled Eggs on my Instagram as a reel last week and I loved them so much I figured I should share them on the blog as well. Just to have a more concrete place for the recipe. It’s like spinach artichoke dip meets deviled egg and it might just be my new favorite way to make them. Although I do have to admit that I still have a soft spot for these loaded baked potato deviled eggs. Why not make both and see which one you like best? I think that’s a great plan.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs and cook for 10 minutes. Place the lid on, remove from the heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath and allow the eggs to cool completely before peeling.
**Tip: I like to peel my eggs in running water or even in the bowl of the ice bath as I find that the water helps the peeling process run smoothly.**
Cut each egg in half lengthwise and then add the yolks into a large bowl.
Add the mayo, parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Mash with a fork until as smooth as possible.
**Note: It doesn’t have to be super smooth as the remaining ingredients will cause it to be chunky either way.**
Stir in the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts and then taste the mixture for seasoning. It might need a bit more salt, pepper or even parmesan. You adjust accordingly here.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe out the filling into the egg whites, filling each as much as possible.
**Note: I find this to be easily done with a disposable pastry decorating bag. Because the mixture is thick, you want to use a large round circle tip. But you can easily transfer the mixture to a large food storage bag, cut the end off and pipe it like that.**
Sprinkle the tops of each with more parmesan and black pepper and garnish each with a few parmesan crisps.
I found little round parmesan crisps at the store in the salad section. Where they have the bagged salad toppings like bacon bits, nuts or tortilla strips. If you can find that or any parmesan cracker would work really. I just like to add it for texture.
These are a great appetizer or snack, especially with Easter around the corner. It’s a great take on a classic and something I know your guests will love. I hope you give them a try, if you do, be sure to let me know what you think below. As always, thank you so much for reading and following along.
