Instant Pot Wasabi Deviled Eggs

These Instant Pot Wasabi Deviled Eggs went from a change of pace to the star of the show. With my Instant Pot Hard Boiled Egg technique pinned down, deviled eggs were my next target.

Because…I can’t resist them. My brother-in-law makes fantastic deviled eggs. When he brings them as a holiday appetizer, the temptation is too great. I keep finding myself in the dining room thinking “Just one more” until the platter is empty.

How hard can deviled eggs be? Yolks, mayonnaise, mustard (for deviling), and maybe some pickle relish. Should be easy, right? Well, my traditional deviled egg recipe isn’t working out yet. It’s not bad…just kind of bland. (I’m consulting with my brother-in-law to find out what my recipe is missing. More news to come soon.)

Luckily, I wanted some other devilish ideas to go with the classics. I’m not a deviled egg purist; there are all sorts of variations, and I love them all. Especially these deviled eggs from Pam Anderson with wasabi and pickled ginger. I made a variation on Pam’s recipe as my backup, to compare to my “normal” deviled eggs.

The wasabi eggs were the runaway hit with my kids. I was shocked. The taste test didn’t start out well. I was peppered with questions about the ingredients:

Wasabi: “Is it going to be too spicy?”

Pickled ginger: “Ew, I don’t like pickles.”

Kelp sprinkle: “What are those green flakes?”

Black sesame seeds: “…and those black things?”

They even wanted to know if the wasabi turned the eggs green. (No. And, darn! I started quoting Green Eggs and Ham…and the yolks came out bright yellow. Sigh.)

When I passed the platter around, I had to tease and cajole to get them to try the wasabi eggs. But, after trying one, they reached for another. And then another…I had to pull the plate away to have enough for everyone to test.

I know what I’m bringing as an appetizer to my next potluck: these Instant Pot wasabi deviled eggs.
