Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 75 grams smoked salmon
- 60 grams cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 9-10 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully under cold running water.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving plate.
In the mixing bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork until crumbly.
Chop the smoked salmon into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Add the cream cheese, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, capers, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well combined.
Spoon or pipe the salmon filling back into the cavity of each egg white half. Use a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative touch if desired.
Sprinkle the filled eggs with a pinch of paprika for garnish, if using.
Refrigerate the stuffed eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a flavorful appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
