Eggs Jeanette
Ingredients
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 -2 tablespoon milk
- 1 garlic clove
finely minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley
finely chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons leftover eggs
mixture
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon water
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Directions
- 1
Cut eggs in half lengthwise, and scoop out yolks.
- 2
Mash together the egg yolks, milk, garlic, parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mixture should be moist, but hold together.
- 3
Stuff egg whites with yolk mixture, reserving about 2 Tbs. Do not mound yolk mixture too high in the whites. Set aside.
- 4
Make dressing.
- 5
Stir together the reserved egg yolk mixture, mustard, water and salt and pepper in a bowl.
- 6
Whisk in olive oil until it is a nice salad dressing consistency.
- 7
Heat olive oil and butter in non-stick frying pan. When they foam up, add eggs, stuffed side down. Fry for about 2 minutes until the yolk mixture is nice and brown. The whites will not brown--just get rubbery if you overcook them.
- 8
When done, remove to a serving plate and drizzle the dressing over. Serve warm.
