Chef's Tips

For a smoother yolk mixture, you can use a food processor or hand mixer.

To toast sesame seeds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden.

If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off.

The deviled eggs can be made a day ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
