Egg Dish
A flavorful stuffed egg dish with bacon, nuts, and curry, perfect as an appetizer or brunch centerpiece for those who enjoy rich, savory bites with a touch of spice.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil eggs for 12 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- Cut each egg in half (not lengthwise), and slice a small amount off the bottom of each so they can stand upright on a dish.
- Remove the yolks from the eggs and crumble the bacon and nuts finely.
- Fill each egg white half with crumbled bacon and nuts, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, blend the egg yolks with curry, mayonnaise, and mustard until smooth.
- Use a pastry bag to squeeze the yolk mixture into each egg half.
- Sprinkle additional bacon and nut mixture over the top of each stuffed egg.
- Finish by sprinkling with paprika.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding a bit of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the yolk mixture. You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon or even smoked salmon for a different flavor profile. If you don't have pecans or walnuts, any nut or seed can work well. Adjust the curry powder according to your taste preference, and feel free to experiment with other spices like cumin or dill.
Serving Suggestions
These stuffed eggs make a fantastic appetizer for parties and gatherings. They pair beautifully with Aunt Mona'S Split Pea Soup With Ham or a crisp salad like Manor Salad. Consider serving them alongside a platter of fresh vegetables and dip or a cheese board for a varied spread. They are also a great addition to any picnic or brunch table.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover stuffed eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave for just a few seconds, but serve them cold for the best flavor and texture. If you’ve added fresh herbs, it’s best to add them just before serving to maintain their freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these stuffed eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the eggs a day in advance. Just store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately in the refrigerator and fill the egg whites right before serving to keep them fresh and visually appealing.
What can I substitute for mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a healthier option, Greek yogurt is a great substitute for mayonnaise. It adds creaminess while cutting down on calories. You could also use avocado for a unique flavor and added nutrition.
How do I make the filling spicier?
To add some heat to your filling, consider incorporating a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can also mix in finely chopped jalapeños or other spicy peppers for a flavorful kick.
