Salmon Deviled Eggs

So my boss at my last job and I had several discussions about deviled eggs, and the fact he just didn't care for the "egginess" of the filling.  After giving this some thought I decided I'd change it up a bit by adding smoked salmon to the mix.  I thought the smokiness of the salmon would help mask the pronounce yolk flavor that you have in so many recipes. So David...this recipe is for you....give it a try!



INGREDIENTS: 

1 DOZ EGGS
3 TBSP DICED ONION
1 TBSP CAPERS
1 PACKAGE 1.25 OZ SMOKED SALMON (SEE PIC)
1/2 TSP DILL
3 TBSP MAYO
1.5 TBSP SOUR CREAM
PINCH OF SALT
PINCH OF PEPPER

1.  You want to hard boil your eggs.  Now I've cooked many things in my days, but I will admit publicly that I hate making hard boiled eggs.  I know...some of you are pros and the shell just slides off....well not me!  Hey, we all need to strive for something..mine is an easy peel hard boiled egg.  Here's a link that may help.  http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_perfect_hard_boiled_eggs/print/

2.  Once the eggs are boiled and peeled, half the eggs and put the yolk in a food processor.  Along with the yolks, add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Once this is complete, put your mixture in a plastic zip lock bag as seen in the pic.  Cut the end off and pipe the mixture into each egg half.

3.  At this point the hard work is over.  For presentation and a little added flavor put a bit of caviar on each egg.  Not only does it look nice, but it really adds a briny element to the deviled egg.

There really aren't rules to deviled eggs....give this one a try or share your favorite idea with me!

Eat Well!
