Stuffed Boiled Eggs with Cheese and Garlic

Ingredients

1
  1. 1 Eggspack 10 pcs ≈ $1.93 1.5 pcs
  2. 2 Hard cheesepack 200 g ≈ $2.70 15 g
  3. 3 Mayonnaise 12 g
  4. 4 Garlic≈ $10.00 per kg 2 g

Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

  1. Boil the eggs1: place them in a pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 9 minutes; then transfer to cold water for 5 minutes, peel, and set aside.

  2. Cut each egg in half lengthwise, carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl, and arrange the whites on a plate with the cut side up.

  3. For the filling: grate the cheese finely, press the garlic4 through a garlic press, and finely chop the dill5; mash the yolks with a fork, then mix with the cheese, garlic, mayonnaise, half the dill, and season with salt.

  4. Spoon the filling into the egg whites (use a heaping teaspoon), then sprinkle with the remaining dill5.

  5. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to set, then serve cold.

Tips

Why it works
Boil eggs for exactly 9 minutes to set the whites fully without overcooking the yolks into a greenish-gray ring. Overcooking makes them rubbery and hard to scoop.
Substitutions
Use cream cheese (15g) instead of hard cheese for a softer filling, or swap mayonnaise for sour cream (12g) to reduce fat. Skip garlic if you dislike its taste.
Common mistakes
If the filling leaks out, you overfilled the eggs or didn’t chill them long enough. Check for a wet base or soft filling after 15 minutes.
Storing and reheating
Keeps 2 days in the fridge. Reheat filling separately in the microwave for 20 seconds, then refill cold eggs. Eat fresh for best texture.
Serve with
Pair with warm rye bread and cucumber slices for a simple lunch or as a starter before a hearty soup.
