Allergens

Eggs, Fish (Salmon)

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 oz smoked salmon
  • Fresh dill leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  3. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water.
  4. After the eggs have cooked, immediately transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process and cool them quickly.
  5. Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shells, then peel off the shells.
  6. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set aside the egg whites on a serving plate.
  7. In the mixing bowl with the egg yolks, mash them together with the avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  8. Use a piping bag or spoon to fill each egg white with the deviled egg mixture.
  9. Place two pieces of smoked salmon on top of each filled egg half. Garnish with fresh dill leaves.

Chef’s Insight

To prevent the yolks from sticking together, add a few drops of white vinegar to the boiling water.
