Ingredients

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs peeled and halved
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise creamy
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp white pepper
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 40 g smoked salmon
  • 40 g red and/or black caviar
  • 8 sprigs of dill

Instructions

  • Boil eggs until the yolks are firm (see our guide), then chill in the fridge.
  • Once eggs are cold, carefully peel them, then slice in half, cutting lengthwise. Clean your knife between eggs for smooth slices.
  • Use a teaspoon to carefully remove the yolks, transferring them to a mixing bowl.
  • To the mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, seasoning, spices, and finely chopped dill, and use a fork to mash everything together, then stir vigorously to well-combine.
  • Taste, and adjust the seasoning as you like.
  • Spoon the creamy egg mixture back into each egg white; use a piping bag if you wish.
  • Tear the smoked salmon into eight narrow strips, roll each up, and place them on the creamy egg mixture; add a teaspoon of caviar to each egg, and garnish with a sprig of dill.
  • Serve with Champagne or shots of chilled vodka as my family did.
