A very simple recipe which can be made with many variations. I have tried this first time for my Dad's B'day 2 days ago, it was hit. But beware, it must be served warm and ensure you make alterations for patients with heart problem or high blood pressure. And surely its a great idea for children who fuss to eat Boiled Egg!
Difficulty Level: Low
Serves: 4-5
Preparation time: 15 mins
Can be served as: Appetiser or for breakfast
Ingredients:
Eggs - 4
Sliced Olives to top as shown in the pic (optional - skip if you don't like olives)
Mayo - 4 tbps
Salt and pepper as per taste
Bacon - 2 rashes (optional)
Preparation Method:
Place the eggs in water and place it on medium flame. Once the water comes to boil, set the timer exactly for 9 mins and remove from flame after 9 mins. Remove eggs from hot water and place in cold water so that it stops cooking.
Peel the eggs and cut them into halves; remove the yolk in a bowl and the whites in a serving tray. Smash the yolks well so that it forms a nice paste. Add mayo, salt and pepper as per required to the bowl of yolks and mix well.
If you are using Bacon, chop finely, put it in a pan and cook it on medium flame. Don't add any oil as the bacon already has enough fat. Once the bacon leaves its fat and cooks in the oil, drop the bacon into the yolks mixture and mix well.
Scoop this yolk mixture with a small spoon into the egg white and serve while its still warm, topped with a slice of olive.
Reality Check:
- Instead of bacon, you can use shredded chicken or corn or chicken ham.
- The protein in egg yolk and mayo is very high, so please ensure you don't serve in large portions. I'd say, 2 pieces is optimum.
- In case you want to ignore the egg yolks and mayo, you could do so and use cream cheese instead.
- For people with heart disease or high blood pressure - mix fresh yoghurt, corn, salt & pepper and use as filling instead of yolks and mayo.
