stuffed eggs recipe

- Yield: 12 halves 1x
- Diet: General, Low-Carb, High-Protein
Description
This easy stuffed eggs recipe is a crowd-pleasing, budget-friendly appetizer or snack, perfect for any family-friendly occasion. It features creamy, flavorful yolk filling piped into egg whites, garnished with crispy shallots and za’atar.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup (60 g) mayonnaise, (substitute half with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard, (yellow mustard is a fine alternative)
- 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon (2.5 g) fine sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (0.5 g) black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) smoked paprika
- 2 medium (50 g) shallots, thinly sliced, (for an amazing crispy garnish)
- 0.5 cup (120 ml) neutral vegetable oil, (for frying the shallots)
- 1 tablespoon (5 g) za’atar, (a vibrant, aromatic final flourish)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. Prepare an ice bath quickly.
- Peel and Halve: Transfer eggs to the ice bath for at least 5 minutes to cool and stop cooking. Gently peel, slice each egg lengthwise, and carefully scoop yolks into a bowl. Place whites on a platter.
- Make the Filling: Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until very smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Fill the Whites: Use a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off) to neatly pipe the creamy yolk mixture back into the hollows of the egg white halves.
- Garnish and Chill: Heat 0.5 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil until shimmering (350F / 175C). Fry thinly sliced shallots until deeply golden and crispy (3-5 minutes). Remove, drain, and lightly salt. Arrange the eggs, then generously sprinkle crispy shallots and a dusting of za’atar. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
Notes
For a healthier twist, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. For dairy-free, ensure your mayonnaise is dairy-free. Add finely chopped vegetables to the filling for an even healthier, high-protein snack. Store chilled for best quality.
