Home Kitchen Herbed Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs

These herbed goat cheese deviled eggs are a fun and satisfying twist on the original. Goat cheese and fresh herbs like parsley and tarragon are blended into the filling, topped with paprika and fresh chives.

Deviled eggs are the quintessential Easter appetizer.

My mother-in-law is the queen of making deviled eggs. Every Easter I can count on her to whip up a old-school batch and rarely is there any left by the time dinner is served. I kind of ride the fence when it comes to deviled eggs. Most of the time I truly have to be in the mood to eat them but when I am in the mood I eat like 8. Okay, 9. Don’t judge me.

This year I am entirely in the mood! And if, like me, you’re wanting something a little different and if you (also, like me) love goat cheese how about this year you flip the script on old-style deviled eggs by mixing in a little goat cheese and fresh herbs? I did and you should too.

These herbaceous goat cheese deviled eggs are so fabulous. Because what’s not too love about creamy, bursting with fresh herbs like parsley and tarragon meets a subtle crunch from the green onion? It’s basically a party for your tastebuds.

To Make These Herbed Goat Cheese Deviled Eggs Set out:

• hard boiled eggs
• 2 ounces goat cheese
• mayonnaise
• Dijon mustard
• lemon juice
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• green onions
• chopped fresh parsley and tarragon
• paprika
• chives

Earlier in the morning I hard boiled a dozen eggs. I have fool-proof method to avoid those overcooked green yolks and the step-by-step post showing you how here.

So once the eggs have cooled, peel them and slice in half.

Gently squeeze the egg halves over the bowl of your food processor, dropping the yolks into it. Place the egg whites onto a clean plate.

Tasty goodness right thurrr.

To the yolks, add in 2 (generous) ounces of goat cheese…

4 tablespoons of mayonnaise…

1 heaping teaspoon of Dijon mustard…

Squeeze in about a 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice…

and lastly season with a 1/4 teaspoon of both kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Secure the lid and blend until whipped and smooth like velvet. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go. Then set that off to the side for a moment…

Meanwhile, slice up 2 green onions and measure 1-1/2 tablespoons of minced parsley leaves and 1 tablespoon of fresh tarragon leaves.

Next you’ll want to add those into the bowl with the egg yolk mixture…

…and then mix them together.

Next grab the plate-o-eggs.

Lastly fill them up. I use an offset spatula which I think works great but you can use a teaspoon or even pipe it in if you’re feeling extra fancy.

And that’s it. This reliable handheld appetizer is done-zos.

Now sit back and watch them disappear.
