Ingredients
- 8 large eggs, hard boiled
- ¼ cup drained and chopped jarred roasted red peppers
- 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp. Chef Merito® Garlic Salt
- 16 ½-inch pieces of green onion stalks
- Garnish: Sprinkle of Paprika
Preparation
- Crack eggs and carefully peel under cool running water.
- Slice in half lengthwise, scoop out yolks and place them in a food processor with peppers, mayonnaise, mustard, and ½ tsp. Chef Merito® Garlic Salt.
- Process yolk mixture until smooth.
- Transfer yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip or a large zip-top bag. If using a bag, squeeze air out and cut the corner with scissors.
- Pipe about 1 Tbsp. filling into the center of each egg white, to resemble a pumpkin.
- Make grooves with the back of a fork for decoration.
- Set a piece of chive diagonally into the filling to resemble a stem.
- Sprinkle paprika over the yolks.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to a day.
Tip
Dip fork in cold water before decorating eggs for even grooves. For a spicier flavor, replace paprika with Chef Merito® Fajitas Seasoning.
