Directions

  1. Boil the eggs for about 10 minutes in a pot of salted water.
  2. Peel them and cut them in half. Remove the pulp with a spoon or your fingers, and set it aside for mixing with the other ingredients of the filling. ≈ 8 min
  3. Prepare the filling: common combinations include mayonnaise, tuna, grilled bell pepper, olive, and anchovy (similar to a Russian salad), or béchamel, ground meat, egg, and breadcrumbs, which can then be baked. You can also use onion, carrot, crab sticks, or crumbled biscuits.
  4. Mix, chop, or blend the chosen mixture until you have a uniform consistency, then fill the egg halves with it. ≈ 10 min
  5. Finish the dish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. You can line the bottom of the plate with one of the sauces (using the mayonnaise, add a few lettuce leaves) to help the eggs stay in place. ≈ 3 min
