Ingredients
6 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Ground paprika, for sprinkling
Preparation
Prepare an ice bath. In a medium pot, cover eggs with cold water; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 8 minutes. Drain and transfer eggs to ice bath. When cool enough to handle, peel and halve lengthwise.
Transfer yolks to a food processor. Add mayonnaise, butter, and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Process, pausing to scrape sides of bowl, until smooth. Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a tip or to a resealable plastic bag. If using a plastic bag, snip one corner. Squeeze filling into each egg-white half. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
Pesto: Blend the yolks with 1/4 cup pesto, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Spoon on a little more pesto before serving. Spiced Hummus: Blend the yolks with 1/3 cup hummus, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce. Season with kosher salt. Sprinkle with za’atar and sprouts to serve.
