Devilled eggs are a hugely popular dish. They are served in different forms all around the world. Devilled eggs are very versatile and could be served as a snack, appetizer or a part of the meal. 

To make this well known recipe more interesting, instead of using chicken eggs, I have used duck eggs. 

Before jumping into the recipe, why don’t we cover the difference in nutrition and benefits of duck eggs vs. chicken eggs.

Eggs are a nutritious and affordable source of protein that humans have been eating for millions of years. In general, duck and chicken eggs are quite similar. Still, there are a few features that set the two apart.

A duck egg can be larger than an average-sized chicken egg. Thus, eating one duck egg is like eating one and a half or even two chicken eggs. Duck egg yolks are larger in size because duck eggs are generally larger than chicken eggs.

In general, duck eggs and chicken eggs taste similar. However, the flavor of duck eggs may be more intense than that of chicken eggs.

The yolk of a duck egg not only looks bold, but I think it gives the egg a richer flavor and creamier taste than chicken egg yolks.

Duck eggs and chicken eggs both have impressive nutritional profiles.

Duck eggs and chicken eggs are both packed with protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and bioactive peptides that contribute in numerous ways to optimal human health.

Whether duck eggs or chicken eggs are better comes down to personal choice. There’s no right answer for everyone.

I’ve never tried duck eggs before but decided to give it a try and was pretty impressed with the outcome.
