Easter is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than with a homemade egg dish? Whether you are planning a special brunch with friends or looking for a new way to enjoy eggs, we have the perfect recipe for you.
Ingredients:
-Eggs
-Salt
-Pepper
-Butter
Directions:
1. Start by boiling a pot of water. Once the water is boiling, carefully add in your eggs using a slotted spoon. Let the eggs cook for about 8 minutes for hard boiled or 5 minutes for soft boiled.
2. While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water. Once the eggs have finished cooking, remove them from the boiling water and immediately place them into the ice water. This will help to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
3. Once the eggs have cooled, carefully peel off the shells. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a separate bowl and mash them with a fork.
4. Add in a teaspoon of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until you have a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. Carefully spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. You can pipe the mixture in using a pastry bag or just spoon it in by hand.
6. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper on top and serve immediately. Your guests will love these delicious and easy to make egg bites!
