Belgian Endive with Egg Salad image

I was so very lucky in that I was able to go to Italy, and I went to wonderful dinners where various stuffed endives were served. Egg salad was a nice, rich, savory favorite every time. :)

Time 20m

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large hard-boiled eggs, shelled and finely chopped
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon minced dried onion
6 heads Belgian endive
4 ounces cooked bay shrimp, rinsed and well drained
paprika
fresh edible flower, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix together the chopped eggs, mayo, mustard, celery salt, and minced dried onion.
  • You can make the filling 1 day ahead- at this point, you'd need to cover and refrigerate it.
  • Cut off and discard the root ends of endive, and separate leaves.
  • Rinse leaves under cool running water, then shake dry.
  • On the wide end of each leaf, place a generous teaspoon the egg mixture, and then place 1 shrimp atop each.
  • Sprinkle each filled leaf with paprika.
  • And now for the artistic portion of the program: for serving: on a large platter, arrange the filled leaves in concentric circles, resembling a flower. If you like, you can place colorful edible flowers in the middle and arrange the leaves around them, for a little color and artistry! You can arrange them on the platter 4 hours ahead, then cover and chill until serving.
