Ingredients

  • 10 large hard-boiled eggs, cooled just enough to handle*
  • 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1¼ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1¼ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1¼ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2½ tablespoons capers, drained
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 pinches freshly ground white or black pepper

Preparation

  1. Peel the cooked eggs and carefully slice in half lengthwise. Place the egg white halves on a clean work surface.
  2. Put the yolks into the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade; process until no longer grainy, about 45 to 60 seconds.
  3. Pulse in the remaining ingredients and process until smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
  4. You may either carefully scoop the filling into the whites, or for a beautiful presentation, fit a pastry bag with a small star tip. Fill the pastry bag with the egg filling and pipe a large rosette onto each white in place of the yolk. Sprinkle with paprika before serving.
