Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup (118 ml / 4 fl oz) grilled corn
- ½ cup (120 g / 4.2 oz) feta cheese, divided
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) mayonnaise
- 2 tbsps prepared mustard
- 2 tsps Worcestershire sauce
- Dash of Tabasco sauce
- ¼ cup (40 g / 1.4 oz) minced red onion
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsps chopped cilantro
- Chili powder, for garnish
Instructions
- Egg Preparation: Submerge eggs in a large pot, covering with water by two inches, and bring to a vigorous boil.
- Resting Phase: Remove from heat, cover, and let eggs steep in hot water for ten minutes to achieve optimal doneness.
- Cooling Process: Transfer pot to sink, flood with cold water to cease cooking and ease peeling, then carefully remove shells.
- Yolk Extraction: Slice eggs lengthwise, gently removing yolks into a mixing bowl while preserving egg white shells as delicate vessels.
- Flavor Fusion: Whip yolks into a smooth consistency, blending mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and crumbled feta to create a decadent filling.
- Seasoning Refinement: Incorporate salt and pepper, tailoring the mixture’s flavor profile to personal taste preferences.
- Elegant Assembly: Pipe the creamy yolk mixture into egg white halves with precision and artistic flair.
- Garnish Elevation: Adorn with charred corn kernels, diced red onion, a sprinkle of chili powder, fresh cilantro, and additional feta to transform the appetizer into a Mexican-inspired masterpiece.
- Serving Suggestion: Chill or serve immediately, presenting a vibrant and flavor-packed twist on classic deviled eggs that will captivate any gathering.
Notes
- Boiling Egg Perfection: Use gentle heat and precise timing to achieve consistently soft, creamy egg yolks without overcooking.
- Cooling Technique: Rapid cold water immersion stops cooking immediately, preventing green ring around yolks and ensuring smooth texture.
- Filling Flavor Balance: Mix yolks thoroughly to create a velvety consistency, tasting and adjusting seasonings for maximum taste impact.
- Garnish Like a Pro: Strategic toppings not only enhance visual appeal but also add layers of complementary flavors and textural contrast.
