Total preparation time: 30 minutes
Boiling time: 10 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 8-10 boiled eggs
- 2-4 slices of ham (preferably prosciutto or quality ham)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon of mustard (sweet or spicy, depending on preference)
- 6-8 green olives (pitted, for a finer taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan
- Juice from half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional, but recommended for a richer taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh or dried parsley for garnish
Preparation:
1. Boil the eggs: Start by placing the eggs in a pot, covering them with cold water. Boil them for 10-12 minutes from the moment the water starts to boil. After boiling, transfer them immediately to cold water to stop the cooking process. This will also make peeling them easier.
2. Prepare the filling: Once the eggs have cooled, carefully peel them and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks into a bowl. Add the diced ham, crushed garlic, mustard, finely chopped olives, grated Parmesan, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
3. Fill the eggs: Use a spoon or a pastry bag to fill the egg whites with the mixture. Make sure the filling is well distributed and looks appetizing.
4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh or dried parsley on top of each egg for an extra touch of color and flavor. These stuffed eggs without mayonnaise are ready to be served!
Helpful tips:
- Variations: You can customize your recipe by adding ingredients like avocado, feta cheese, or Kalamata olives for a different flavor. You can also experiment with spices like paprika or cumin to give it a more interesting taste.
- Serving: These stuffed eggs can be served as a cold appetizer or as part of a brunch. Make sure to keep them in the refrigerator before serving to keep them fresh.
