This is an original recipe based upon tradition, with a twist. I was inspired by a recipe I found on Recipe Zaar that included fresh basil. Ingredients:
1 dozen egg, large |
1 1/2 tablespoons italian parsley |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
2 teaspoons lemon zest |
Directions:
1. Place eggs in pot and cover with water. Bring to a rolling boil. When the water reaches the boiling point, turn the flame off and put a lid on the pot and set aside for twenty minutes.
2. Peel and discard all of the egg shells. Take 3 of the eggs and remove the yolk and discard the whites. With the remaing hard boiled eggs carefully slice through the eggs length wise and remove the yolks.
3. Place all the yolks in a bowl. Finely chop parsley and add all the ingredients to the egg yolks, then combine well with a fork. Consistency should be smooth, add olive oil if needed and taste for seasoning. Transfer egg yolk mixture to a plastic bag, maneuvering to one corner of the bag, twist the excess of the bag pushing the yolks down to the corner.
4. With scissors snip a small opening in the corner of the bag. Fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.
5. Garnish with finely chopped scallions or parsley.
