Time 25m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
7 slices deli ham (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup relish
2 tablespoons Sriracha
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup diced roasted red peppers
Microgreens, for garnish

Steps:

Place the eggs in a large wide pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until cool.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the ham and fry until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel¿lined plate, then finely chop.
Peel and halve the eggs. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl and place the whites on a plate. Add the mayonnaise, relish and Sriracha to the bowl with the yolks; season with salt and pepper and mix and mash until smooth (or use a food processor to speed up this process). Stir in about three-quarters of the fried ham.
Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag and pipe into the egg whites. Top with the roasted red peppers and the remaining fried ham. Garnish with microgreens.
