🔀 Substitutions & Variations

- Celery Seed: Adds a subtle, earthy flavor to complement the spicy and savory notes. It can be mixed into the filling or sprinkled on top as a garnish, enhancing the overall complexity of the dish. You can also use celery salt instead of seed, but make sure you adjust the salt level in the recipe.
- Tomato Paste: Blend it with the egg yolks and avocado mixture for a moist, flavorful filling that mirrors the classic Bloody Mary cocktail essence.
- Crispy Bacon: Adds a crunchy texture and smoky flavor. Crumble it on top of the filled eggs as a garnish, offering a delightful contrast to the creamy yolk mixture.
- Dijon Mustard: Provides a tangy kick that enhances the overall flavor profile. Add it into the egg yolk and avocado mixture, where its sharpness will complement the spices and add depth to the filling.
- Old Bay Seasoning: Can serve as a substitute for the Bloody Mary seasoning spice mix, infusing the dish with a unique blend of herbs and spices that add complexity and warmth. Mix it into the egg yolk filling to integrate its aromatic flavors directly, enhancing the overall taste profile.
🔪How To Make Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs
- Step 1: Boil your eggs. After twelve minutes of boiling, remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in the cold water bath. Allow them to sit for a few minutes.
- Step 2: Once peeled, start cutting the eggs in half and placing the cooked yolks in a separate bowl. Once all are separated, set the halved whites aside for later.
- Step 3: Grab your bowl with the cooked egg yolks and add in half of your ripened avocado. Mash until it's smooth and creamy. Add the Bloody Mary seasoning mix. We added about 2 ½ teaspoons, but taste test it after each teaspoon to see your preference. Add a pinch of salt if needed and stir.
- Step 4: After mixing, fill the hollowed-out egg whites with a spoon or use a pastry bag for pouring the mixture. Top with a fresh jalapeno pepper or a sprinkle of cumin. Serve and enjoy!
