Abstract: Egg products, such as deviled eggs, are prepared by an easily automatable method starting with separate quantities of raw egg whites and egg yolks. The uncooked egg whites are mixed and evacuated to remove air and other gases, then dispensed into a multiplicity of open molds which preferably are of the size and shape of half an egg. Egg yolk filling is prepared from raw egg yolks which are cooked, chopped, and blended with seasonings. Most usually, a fraction of the total egg yolk filling is dispensed to float on the uncooked egg white in the molds. The egg white with egg yolk filling floating on top is cooked in steam and then a further amount of egg yolk filling is mounded on top to yield the desired egg product, e.g., a deviled egg. The cooking molds can be a portion of the final marketing package.
