Be the first to If you don't care for smoked salmon or can't find it, you may substitute other smoked fish, black olives, ground ham, blue cheese, or caviar.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 jumbo hard-boiled eggs, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped smoked salmon (see note below)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped capers
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, preferably fresh
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup Herb Dressing (See link)
Preparation:
Work hard-boiled egg yolks through a sieve into a mixing bowl, add smoked salmon, dill, and capers, and mix well. Add mustard, mayonnaise, and pepper to taste, and blend well. Fill egg cavities with the mixture, press halves together neatly and securely, and trim the broad bases of the eggs so they stand upright on a serving dish. Spoon herb dressing over eggs.
Yield: 6 servings
Note: Substitutions for the salmon might include 4 tablespoons of chopped black olives, 1/4 cup ground ham, 4 tablespoons of crumbled Stilton or blue cheese, or even a few tablespoons of fresh caviar.
