Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 6 stuffed eggs

Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 70-100 g peas
- 70-100 g corn
- 100 g roasted red pepper
- 200 g smoked chicken breast
- 100 g green olives
- 100 g black olives
- 6 sprigs of dill
- 1 packet of gelatin
- 50 g green onion
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparing the eggs

1. Washing the eggs: Start by washing the eggs with cold water to remove any impurities from their surface. This step is essential to ensure the eggs are clean before using them.

2. Creating the lid: Using a thin-tipped knife, make a small crack at the top of each egg. Carefully cut a round lid, taking care not to break the shell.

3. Emptying the eggs: Using a pair of scissors, empty the egg of its contents. Point the nozzle of the scissors towards the inside of the egg and let it drain into a bowl. Continue this process until all the eggs are empty.

4. Cleaning the shells: After emptying the eggs, wash them well inside with warm water and mild detergent. Let them drain with the opening down to dry completely.

Preparing the filling

5. Preparing the ingredients: Cut the smoked chicken breast into small cubes, slice the olives, dice the roasted red pepper, and chop the green onion. These ingredients will add texture and flavor to your filling.

6. Boiling the peas and corn: Boil the peas and corn in salted water for 3-5 minutes, then drain and let them cool. These vegetables will bring a sweet taste and a note of freshness.

7. Preparing the gelatin: Soak the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. After it has bloomed, heat it gently, being careful not to let it boil. The gelatin will help bind the filling.

Filling the eggs

8. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast, peas, corn, roasted pepper, olives, and green onion. Add the gelatin mixture (just enough to achieve a good texture) and mix well.

9. Creating the filling: Add two teaspoons of dissolved gelatin and mix until everything is uniform. Taste the filling and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking.

10. Filling the shells: Using a teaspoon, fill each eggshell with the prepared mixture. Do not fill completely; leave a little space, as the gelatin will expand.

11. Decorating: After filling all the eggs, decorate with dill sprigs and, if desired, a few slices of olives for an attractive appearance.

Practical tips

- Gelatin: Ensure the gelatin is well dissolved, but do not let it boil, as it will lose its gelling properties.
- Cleaning the shells: Using farm-fresh eggs can provide a richer taste and a stronger shell.
- Serving: These festive eggs are delicious served with a fresh green salad or alongside crispy bread.

Customized version

If you want to customize this recipe, you can add other ingredients such as feta cheese or fresh dill for a more intense flavor. Another option would be to replace the chicken breast with tuna or smoked salmon for a special touch.

Nutritional benefits

These festive eggs are not only delicious but also nutritious. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and essential nutrients. Peas and corn add fiber and vitamins, while olives contribute healthy fats.
