Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (22g) parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons (45g) mayonnaise
- 2–3 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
- 1 teaspoon (5g) Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon (2ml) lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chives or fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)
- Extra grated parmesan (for garnish, optional)
- Smoked paprika or black pepper (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. As soon as the water boils, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap and peel under running water. Pat dry.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl. Set whites aside on a platter.
- To the yolks, add parmesan, mayonnaise, roasted garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mash together until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the mixture is too stiff, add more mayo or a splash of milk.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white half.
- Garnish with extra parmesan, chopped chives or parsley, and a pinch of smoked paprika or black pepper if desired.
- Chill for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, use older eggs for easier peeling. Freshly grate parmesan for the smoothest filling. Roasted garlic gives a mellow flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted in a pinch. Chill eggs before serving for best flavor. Filling and whites can be made ahead and assembled just before serving.
