A brief history of the recipe
Fish recipes have always been appreciated in various cultures, based on healthy and nutrient-rich ingredients. Eggs, in turn, are a staple food in many kitchens, providing a rich supply of proteins and healthy fats. The combination of these two elements has led to the creation of dishes that are not only delicious but also very versatile, suitable for breakfast, as an appetizer, or even for dinner.

Necessary ingredients
- 1 can of fish in oil or broth (125-175 g)
- 3-4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 small onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1-2 pickles
- a few slices of cheese and salami
- 3-4 olives
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 10-15 ml olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice (or vinegar)
- salt, pepper to taste

Necessary utensils
- Pot for boiling eggs
- Blender
- Mixing bowl
- Knife and cutting board
- Plates for serving

Step by step

1. Boil the eggs
Start by boiling 3-4 eggs. Place them in a pot with cold water and let them boil for at least 5-10 minutes. A trick for perfect boiled eggs is to add a teaspoon of salt to the water. This will help coagulate the egg white faster in case they crack.

2. Prepare quick mayonnaise
In a bowl, combine a raw egg yolk with a tablespoon of mustard, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Gradually add the olive oil while constantly mixing until you obtain a creamy composition. This quick mayonnaise will add a rich note to the fish paste.

3. Chopping the ingredients
Finely chop the onion and red bell pepper. Keep a few slices of pepper for decoration. These vegetables will add texture and a fresh taste to the fish paste, turning it into a delicacy.

4. Mixing the fish paste
In the blender, add the can of fish, one boiled egg, the yolk from another boiled egg, the mayonnaise (keeping a tablespoon for decoration), sour cream, chopped onion, and bell pepper. Blend everything until you get a smooth paste. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking.

5. Arranging the plate
On a large plate, start arranging the slices of cheese and salami, then add 2-3 tablespoons of fish paste in the center. Cut the remaining boiled egg in half and fill them with the paste, then place the sliced boiled egg, pickles, and olives. This arrangement will turn breakfast into a culinary work of art.

6. Decorating
Use the remaining mayonnaise to decorate the platter and add the slices of red bell pepper for an extra splash of color. You can place the remaining fish paste in a small bowl and decorate it with cucumber and red pepper slices for an even more attractive presentation.

7. Serving
This breakfast can be enjoyed directly at the table by making delicious sandwiches from the combinations of cheese, salami, and fish paste. It is a dish that will bring smiles to everyone’s faces.

Practical tips
- Ingredient variations: If you want a vegetarian version, you can replace the can of fish with avocado or hummus, creating an equally delicious paste.

- Additions: For an extra flavor boost, add fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the paste mixture.
- Drink combinations: This breakfast pairs perfectly with fresh orange juice or aromatic coffee, providing a pleasant contrast between the rich taste of the paste and the freshness of the drink.
