Deviled Pickled Eggs

I am good crazy about the word pickled (maybe cuz I am an all-types-of vinegar lover). Give this one a try:
(makes 24)

To pickle:
12 large eggs
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar, divided
2&1/2 red wine vinegar
3/4 cup white wine
2 med. shallots, sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 t. black peppercorns
1 t. whole allspice berries
1 T. red pepper flakes (that sounds like a lot to me, I'd say use the amt. you prefer)
2 t. smoked paprika
3 dried bay leaves
2 whole cloves
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions

To assemble:
2 T. light* mayo.
1 t. minced shallots
1/2 t. minced garlic
2 t. Dijon mustard
1/4-1/2* t. Tabasco
2 t. freshly ground pepper
1/2 t. Kosher salt*
1/2 t. smoked paprika
2 pinches Madras curry powder
1/2-1* t. sugar
2 t. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 t. chopped celery leaves
1/4 cup finely minced red onion
1/2 t. capers* (for David), drained and chopped
Freshly ground white pepper (for serving)
1/4 cup creme fraiche

Make pickled eggs: Put eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and add 1/4 cup cider vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 8 mins. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water. Immediately plunge eggs into ice water to stop cooking process and cool. Peel. Combine remaining 1/2 cup cider vinegar with the pickle ingredients in a nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Decrease heat to med.-low and simmer 5 mins. Put cooled eggs in a nonreactive container, pour hot brine over them, and let cool. Stir in scallions. Let eggs pickle, submerged in brine, at least over-night in the fridge. To assemble:
Cut pickled eggs in half lengthwise, and gently scoop out yolks into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a blender* or food processor*). Blend in mayo., shallots, garlic, mustard, Tabasco, capers, black pepper, salt, paprika, curry powder, sugar, parsley, and celery leaves, and mix until smooth. Scoop yolk mixture into a small zip-lock plastic bag, and force mixture toward a corner. Snip off a small piece from that corner, and pipe mixture into egg halves. Top with onion, white pepper, and a tiny dollop of creme fraiche.
