Uova ripiene doppiamente piccanti

Ingredienti

• 8 eggs
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Mexican crema
• 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons sauce from chipotles in adobo sauce
• 2 teaspoons pickling vinegar from pickled jalapeños
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 scallion (white and light green parts sliced)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 3 bacon slices (cooked until crisp and finely minced)
• Pickled jalapeños (sliced or diced, for garnish)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water by a couple inches. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Let the water boil for a minute, turn off the heat, cover and let the eggs steep for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water and let cool. Once they are cool enough to handle, peel and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half vertically.

2. 2

   With a spoon, remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Along with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, crema, mustard, chipotles in adobo sauce, pickling vinegar from pickled jalapeños, white vinegar, unsalted butter, scallion and sugar. Process until completely smooth and fluffy. Give it a full minute of your time.

3. 3

   Place the egg yolk mixture in a pastry tube or use a plastic or piping bag. I like to use the star tip, but you can use a tip with whichever shape you like - you can also use a teaspoon. Add some of the minced bacon at the bottom of each white half. Pipe or spoon the egg yolk mixture on top. Garnish with the jalapeños and serve.
