Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, cooled and peeled
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon whole pink peppercorns, divided
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon whole white peppercorns
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorn
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon whole green peppercorn
  • 1/2 teaspoon caper liquid
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pinch sugar

Method

  • Slice the eggs in half from top to bottom. Scoop the yolks into a medium mixing bowl and lay the whites aside.
  • Place all of the peppercorns, except 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of the pink peppercorns, into a spice grinder and process until ground well. Add the ground peppers, caper liquid, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and sugar to the egg yolks and using a fork, stir to thoroughly combine.
  • Place the mixture into a zip-top plastic bag and cut a small hole at one of the corners. Pipe the mixture into each of the white halves.
  • Coarsely grind the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of pink peppercorns and use to garnish the top of each egg.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator before serving.
