Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover them with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the eggs simmer for 9-10 minutes.
Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs under running water for ease, then slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add tahini, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, dividing the filling evenly among the 12 halves.
Dust the tops of the filled eggs with paprika and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if using.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
