Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 120 g tuna in oil - 4 oz
- 50 g mayonnaise - ~3 ½ tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 1 bunch parsley
- pink peppercorns - for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan filled with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cook for 10 minutes from the moment the water starts boiling.
- Drain the eggs and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely before peeling the eggs, without breaking the whites
- Cut them in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set aside 2 or 3 yolks (depending on the egg size) in a separate cup for the final garnish.
- To the bowl with the yolks, add drained tuna, anchovy fillets, capers, mayonnaise, and chopped parsley.
- Using an immersion blender, blend everything until you achieve a smooth, thick, and creamy mixture.
- With a teaspoon, generously fill each egg white with the tuna and yolk cream. Spread the filling over the entire surface, not just in the hollow left by the yolk.
- Place the stuffed eggs on a serving dish. Crumble or grate the reserved egg yolks over the top to create the mimosa flower effect.TIP: For a finer texture, freeze the yolks for 15-20 minutes before grating. This helps prevent them from sticking to the grater.
- Your Uova Mimosa (Italian Deviled Eggs) are ready to serve! Sprinkle a little pink peppercorns on top for decoration (optional).
