Neviled Eggs – Towards Zero
A lovely elegant appetizer, inspired by one of the characters in Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero
Ingredients
- 12 quail eggs
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Dash of Tabasco (optional)
- 2 tsp mayonnaise
- sprigs of dill to garnish
- Salmon roe to garnish
Instructions
Place the eggs in a pan filled with enough water to cover them. Bring the water to boil then cover with a lid, remove from the heat and let the eggs sit for 2 minutes.
Drain and cool the eggs in cold water with some ice cubes in it.
Peel the eggs, cut them in half and scoop out the yolks.
Mash the yolks with the lemon juice, mustard, Tabasco and mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth.
Fill a piping bag with the mashed yolks and pipe back into the egg whites.
Garnish with a little sprig of dill and a salmon egg.
Enjoy!
Notes
I found it easier to place the dill sprigs and salmon roe on the eggs with a pair of tweezers because I have massive man hands that are not great for delicate tasks like this!
