Deviled Duck Eggs -- not so good

[tomingreeneco]

My wife makes Deviled duck eggs and does not tell anyone what they are. Everyone always say they are the best Deviled eggs they have ever had and want to know her "secret"

My dad won't eat duck eggs because "they came out of a ducks a**". I guess he doesn't realize where chicken eggs come from, and I don't have the heart to tell him...

We love deviled duck eggs. The whites are firmer, but that doesn't bother us.

With chicken eggs I've never used uber fresh ones... not same day... but same week, yes. And I've noticed the firm white thing. Kinda rubbery actually. But still tastey. Agree with the others you might try some two week old ones, a small batch, to see if that helps?? Throw in the milk for thinning the yolk too? May be worth a shot. We LOVE Deviled Eggs around here... chicken anyways... and hope one day to have ducks so I'm curious as a cat about this.

Oh... and I'm weird about cooking them too... I've tried a LOT of methods but lately I've been sticking to bringing them to a boil, then turning off the heat and covering and leaving them alone for 20-30 mins (may need longer for bigger eggs) and then tossing them into iced water for 10 minutes... peeling is SO much easier AND bonus points for not having green (burned) yolks... just my method, not perfect by any means... but we like it.

That is how we have always cooked our eggs at home in Germany. This may have been a methods left over from the war when energy was short and things had to get cooked differently. They cooked all kind of things that way. Heating up to a boil then wrapping in blankets and let sit for hours. Soups and stews were cooked that way all the time. Anyway, many German still cook eggs that way. I could not teach my husband to cook that way, so now we are using an egg cooker.

I agree. I served deviled duck eggs at a picnic recently. They were a great hit.
