Makes 24 servings
Ingredients
1 dozen hard boiled eggs
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a bit more for finishing
3 teaspoons We Olive Wasabi Sake Mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
*Sea Salt Garnish (Optional)
Boiling The Eggs – Add eggs to a large pot and cover with water by at least a couple of inches. Bring the pot to a full rolling boil. Cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 – 15 minutes. Altitude and other factors will require some adjustments. Either strain off the water or remove the eggs using a slotted spoon to a bowl and run under cold water or submerge in an ice bath to prevent further cooking.
Peel the hard boiled eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop the yolks into a medium bowl and combine with olive oil and Wasabi Sake Mustard. Work the mixture until well incorporated and smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Using a small spreading knife, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture into the empty egg white and smooth with the back of the knife. Repeat with remaining eggs. Garnish the eggs with a sprinkling of chives and sea salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
*We love a robust, grassy olive oil that stands up to the richness of the eggs. We also like a sea salt that has a coarser grain and gives the eggs a nice bit of crunch.
