Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to hard-boil the eggs.
While the eggs are cooking, rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly and chop it finely.
In a small pan over medium heat, sauté the spinach with a pinch of salt until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once the eggs are cooked, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 10 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbly. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, wilted spinach, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Spoon or pipe the spinach-yolk mixture back into the egg whites, filling the cavities generously.
Sprinkle the tops with a pinch of paprika for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a tasty appetizer or side dish!
