These deviled eggs bring a little New England flair to game day snacking, pairing classic comfort with some serious wow-factor. Made with Pete & Gerry’s Organic Pasture-Raised Eggs, the filling is rich, smooth, and sturdy enough to hold its own under a buttery “micro” lobster roll. Equal parts clever and crowd-pleasing, they’re the kind of appetizer that feels special without feeling too over-the-top, perfect for celebrating a big game with good food and even better company.
Instructions
- Cut the peeled, hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Place egg whites on a deviled egg plate cut sides up, and place yolks into a medium bowl. Refrigerate whites until ready to fill.
- Use a fork to mash the yolks into tiny crumbles.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard, 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the yolks and mash to combine well.
- Use a spatula to transfer the yolk filling to a piping bag fitted with a wide, fluted tip or a Ziploc bag. (If using a Ziploc bag, cut a corner off after filling to create a hole.) Refrigerate until ready to plate the eggs.
- Warm pretzel bites to package directions and use a knife to carefully cut a V-shape into the top of each pretzel bite to make miniature hot dog buns.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add the lobster meat, celery, one teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and the parsley. Stir just until the lobster meat is warmed through and remove from heat.
- When ready to plate, pipe the filling into the prepped egg whites.
- Stuff the pretzel bites with the buttery seasoned lobster, and place one micro lobster roll onto each deviled egg using the filling to hold it in place.
- Serve immediately with a shower of chives, a sprinkle of Old Bay Seasoning, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
