A melhor receita sulista de ovos recheados

Ingredientes

• 12 large hard-boiled eggs
• 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise, preferably Duke’s!
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 tablespoons smooth dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon sweet relish
• 1 teaspoon Creole Cajun Seasoning– homemade or store-bought
• Pinch of ground nutmeg (yes, nutmeg)
• Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• Smoked paprika, fresh chopped dill or finely chopped chives, for garnish- optional

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to gently scoop out the yolk and place it into a bowl, then place the egg white on a platter. Repeat the process until the egg parts have been separated. Use a fork to mash up the yolks as much as you can.

2. 2

   Next, add the mayonnaise, softened butter, dijon mustard, sweet relish, Cajun seasoning, nutmeg, and salt/pepper- to taste. Then mix until fully incorporated. You can also use a handheld mixer to achieve a super smooth consistency if you’d like.

3. 3

   Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a plain tip or star tip (or spoon the filling into a ziplock bag and cut off a small snip at the corner). Pipe the filling into the egg whites on the platter. You can also just spoon the filling into the egg whites, too.

4. 4

   Then sprinkle the top of the filled eggs with smoked paprika and garnish with fresh chopped dill or chives for a pop of herby freshness, if desired. Enjoy!
