Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 8-10 minutes to ensure they are hard-boiled.
While the eggs are cooking, take the butter out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature.
Once the eggs are done, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
Peel the eggs and discard the shells. Place the peeled eggs in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Use a fork to mash the eggs into small, crumbly pieces. Adjust the size of the pieces to your preference—some people like a smoother texture, while others prefer a chunkier spread.
Add the softened butter to the bowl with the eggs. Mix well until the butter is fully blended with the mashed eggs, creating a creamy and cohesive mixture.
Sprinkle in the salt and stir again to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve Munavoi immediately on slices of rye bread, crackers, or with traditional Finnish Karelian pasties. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
