Method
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let stand for 12 minutes.
- Prepare an ice water bath. After 12 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool completely. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs.
- Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter. Mash the yolks with a fork until they form a fine crumble.
- To the mashed yolks, add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag with a star tip (or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off). Pipe the filling into the egg white halves. Top each with a small dollop of red pepper jelly.
- Sprinkle the deviled eggs with finely diced fresh cranberries and chopped fresh rosemary or chives. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Notes
Tip 1: For an extra smooth filling, press the cooked yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing.
Tip 2: Don't assemble more than 4-6 hours before serving to prevent the filling from drying out and the toppings from becoming watery.
