At first, the ingredients in a classic Caesar salad may seem out of place in a deviled egg recipe, but trust us—it’s the perfect combination of flavors. A hint of spicy garlic, a flurry of finely shredded salty Parmesan cheese, and that signature element—an anchovy filet—join together for a rich and savory filling that’s hard to beat. Before you turn your nose up at the anchovy (like we did at first) give it a try—any hint of fishiness vanishes, leaving behind a salty richness that will have you going back for seconds.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp. olive oil

  • 1 Tbsp. panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs)

  • 6 large eggs

  • Ice

  • 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise

  • 2 tsp. finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus shaved cheese for garnish

  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

  • 1/8 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1 small anchovy fillet (from 1 [1 1/2-oz.] jar), finely chopped (about 1/4 tsp.)

  • 3 roasted garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 1/2 tsp.)

  • 12 fresh tarragon leaves (from 2 large sprigs)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium. Add panko; cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool 5 minutes.

  2. Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil over high. Carefully lower eggs into boiling water; cook, undisturbed, for 11 minutes, 30 seconds. 

  3. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl halfway with ice, and add enough water to cover ice; set ice bath aside.

  4. Using a spider or slotted spoon, immediately transfer cooked eggs from boiling water to ice bath. Let stand until completely cooled, at least 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes.

  5. Working with 1 egg at a time, firmly tap eggs on countertop or a flat work surface until cracks form all over the shell. Peel eggs under cold water.

  6. Cut eggs in half lengthwise, and carefully remove yolks. Using a fork, mash together yolks and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Add finely grated Parmesan cheese, mustard, pepper, salt, anchovy, and roasted garlic. Stir well to combine.

  7. Spoon egg yolk mixture evenly (about 1 Tbsp. each) into egg whites. Garnish with toasted panko, shaved Parmesan cheese, and tarragon leaves. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 3 days.
