Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons smoked salmon (optional, finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional, finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 10 minutes.
Once cooked, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. This will make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Arrange the empty egg whites on a serving platter.
Use a fork to mash the yolks until they are crumbly. Add the butter, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the yolks and mix until smooth. For an even creamier texture, you can use a hand mixer or whisk.
If using smoked salmon and/or fresh dill, gently fold them into the yolk mixture for an added layer of flavor.
Using a spoon or a piping bag with a star tip, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Be generous with the filling, making a small mound on top of each egg.
Lightly sprinkle paprika over the stuffed eggs for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your Farshirovannye Yaytsa as an elegant appetizer or party snack!
