These devilled eggs with capers and tarragon offer a sophisticated, modern update to a classic party favourite. By swapping some of the traditional mayonnaise for extra-virgin olive oil and adding piquant capers, the filling achieves a silky texture with a bright, savoury finish. The fresh aniseed notes of tarragon lift the richness of the yolks, making these an elegant choice for a spring brunch or an autumnal drinks party.

As a versatile vegetarian snack, this dish is naturally gluten-free and packed with protein. The addition of finely minced celery and shallots provides a subtle crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling. These can be prepared a few hours in advance, allowing the herbal flavours to develop, making them a stress-free option for effortless entertaining.
