Huevos Rellenos (Spanish Stuffed Eggs)
Huevos Rellenos (Spanish Stuffed Eggs) is Spanish home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1/4 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Place the eggs in a pot, cover with cold water by an inch, bring to a boil, then cover, remove from the heat, and let them sit for 10 minutes.
- Drain and cool the eggs under cold running water, then peel them and slice each one in half lengthwise.
- Scoop the yolks into a bowl, mash them well with a fork, and mix in the mayonnaise and the salt until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding it slightly.
- Dust the tops with the paprika, scatter over the chopped parsley, and chill briefly before serving.
