DEVILLED EGGS - TÖLTÖTT TOJÁS


These are my famous "stuffed eggs", they tend to disappear from the buffet table. They are best when the Tartar Sauce is made from homemade mayonnaise. Sometimes I cheat and combine  commercial and homemade mayo. You still get the homemade mayo flavor, but with lower fat content. I never use light mayo or Miracle Whip. They bring in a foreign flavor. Be careful with mayonnaise based dishes. Don't let them sit on the table long.

DEVILLED EGGS
5 eggs
1 tsp minced parsley
1/2 tsp minced onion*
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup fine breadcrumbs

• Bring the eggs to boil.
• Cover, and remove from heat.
• Let stand for 15 minutes. Do not lift lid.
• Meanwhile make the Tartar Sauce.
• After 15 minutes peel and halve the eggs.
• With a small spoon scoop out the yolks and set the whites aside.
• Place the yolks in a bowl.
• Add parsley, onion, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, and the Tartar Sauce.
• Combine well.
• Adjust consistency; add more bread crumbs or Tartar Sauce. The yolk filling should be on the firmer side.
• Stuff the whites with the yolk filling.
• Wrap and place stuffed eggs in the fridge immediately.
• Allow the flavors to combine for minimum 6 hours.
• Sprinkle with paprika just before serving.

* Never grate onions for stuffed eggs, because raw onion juice, even in tiny amount, can overpower the delicate flavour of eggs.

It began with posting a few recipes on line for the family. "zsuzsa is in the kitchen" has more than 1000 Hungarian and International recipes. What started out as a private project turned into a well visited blog. The number of visitors long passed the two million mark. I organized the recipes into an on-line cookbook. On top of the page click on "ZSUZSA'S COOKBOOK". From there click on any of the chapters to access the recipes. For the archive just scroll to the bottom of the page. I am not profiting from my blog, so visitors are not harassed with advertising or flashy gadgets. The recipes are not broken up with photos at every step. Where needed the photos are placed following the recipe. Feel free to cut and paste my recipes for your own use. Publication is permitted as long as it is in your own words and with your own photographs. However, I would ask you for an acknowledgement and link-back to my blog. Happy cooking!
