Deviled Eggs with Longanisa
Deviled Eggs with Longanisa are the classic stuffed eggs, or what Filipinos call Relyenong Itlog, but made special with the topping of crumbled longanisa. Longanisas are cured pork sausages, often served for Filipino breakfast or brunch. I crumbled the cooked longanisas, skin-off, in the food processor, and added them on top of the eggs. The sweet-flavored longanisa was a perfect addition to the savory stuffed eggs. This is an Asian in America recipe by Elizabeth Ann Quirino.* I shared how to cook the hard-boiled eggs in 2 alternate ways: Stovetop or in the Instant Pot. A previous blog post illustrated the 5-5-5 Instant Pot Hardboiled Eggs. Click here.

Cook's comments:
1)To store, keep deviled eggs refrigerated at all times.2) Instant Pot is a multicooker that cooks in high pressure. Instant Pot is a registered trademark of the Instant Pot Company which is not associated with this blog. I was not paid to review or endorse the appliance. My opinion is my own.
