A Simple Stuffing For Hard-Boiled Eggs

Recipe Ingredients

24		Hard-boiled eggs
1/4 cup	59ml	Mayonnaise
4 tablespoons	60ml	Butter - softened
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chopped sweet pickle or piccalilli
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
		Parsley or red pimiento - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise with a sharp knife dipped in cold water, then puree the yolks through a sieve or food mill into a bowl. Blend in mayonnaise, butter, sweet pickle or piccalilli, and salt and pepper to taste. The whites are quick and easy to fill using a pastry bag with fluted tube. Decorate with parsley or a bit of red pimiento.

A few other stuffing ideas:  After sieving the yolks and blending in mayonnaise, soft butter, salt, and pepper, blend in:

• Fresh herbs: Such as minced parsley and/or chives or tarragon to taste, or
• Mushroom duxelles: Minced mushrooms sauteed with herbs and shallots, or
• Asparagus tips: blanched, warmed in butter and shallots, and finely minced, or
• Lobster, crab, or shrimp: sauteed in butter and shallots, and finely chopped, or
• Curried onions: minced onions sauteed in butter with a good pinch of curry powder.
