Time 15m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 hard-boiled eggs
3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Sliced pimento, olives or green pepper, or rolled anchovy fillets, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove the eggs from their shells and cut them lengthwise or crosswise in half. If they are cut crosswise, cut off a thin slice from the bottom of each shelled half so that the eggs, when stuffed, will sit upright.
  • Place a small sieve over a mixing bowl and put the egg yolks into the sieve. Using your fingers, press the yolks through the sieve. Add the remaining ingredients except the garnishes and beat to blend.
  • Fill the cavity of each egg half with equal portions of the mixture, using a spoon or pastry tube. Decorate the top of each with small slices of pimento, olives or green pepper, or with rolled anchovy fillets.
