Bella Rosina egg recipe

The hard-boiled eggs are stuffed with mayonnaise and garnished with their own yolks as you can see in the photo. Half the eggs and remove their yolks. Stuff the whites with the mayonnaise. If you want, you can add some fresh parsley and capers (finely chopped) to the mayonnaise. Arrange the whites in the serving plate. Purée the yolks over the whites just before serving.

Note

  • - You can’t prepare these eggs in advance; their yolks would dry up.
  • - It’s a typical Italian antipasto but you can also serve them in summer as second course.
