Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon grated horseradish root or 1 to 2 teaspoon grated horseradish from the jar in vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Baby arugula or microgreens, for garnish
- Grated fresh horseradish, for garnish (optional)
- 2 green onions, green part only, sliced on the diagonal or chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add about one tablespoon of kosher salt.
- Very gently lower eggs into the water. When the water comes to a boil again, turn off the heat, cover the pan and let sit for 12 minutes.
- Drain eggs and shake the pan gently to crack the shells. Chill eggs in cold water. Gently remove shells. (Do not worry if shells do not come off ideally - there are usually one or two egg whites that can't be used in the end - eat them and put the yolks in the filling with the rest of the yolks.
- Cut the eggs in half crosswise (or lengthwise) and with a small spoon gently remove yolks from the whites and place yolks in a small mixing bowl.
- Stand the whites up on a baking sheet lined with a tea towel, cut side up. Trim the bottoms slightly if necessary.
- Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, vinegar, grated horseradish and salt. If you like the egg yolks very smooth, you can puree them in a blender or food processor. Season to taste.
- Spoon the egg mixture into the egg white halves using two small spoons, or pipe them through a piping tube. I used a small zipper-style bag and cut about 1/8" off one of the corners to be able to pipe.
- Arrange arugula over a serving plate and nestle eggs onto the greens. Grate fresh horseradish over the top and garnish with green onions. Serve and enjoy!
