Deviled eggs with Spinach
Ingredients:
🥚 6 boiled eggs
🥚 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
🥚 1/4 cup spinach, finely diced
🥚 1/4 cup cilantro or parsley, finely diced
🥚 1 tablespoon dill fronds, finely diced
Method:
To Boil the Eggs:
Place eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, lower the heat to low or where the water is at a low boil. Allow it to boil for 15 minutes. Turn the heat off, carefully drain the water, and run the eggs under cold water. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, remove them from the pot, run the eggs under cold water, crack the shell, and peel it off.
To Make Deviled Eggs:
- Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks.
- Add the yolks to a bowl and mash them with a fork.
- Add the mayonnaise and mix to combine.
- Add the finely diced spinach, cilantro, and dill.
- Mix to combine. Taste, if desired, may add a little bit more mayonnaise.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites and serve.
Plating Easter-themed breakfast served in the 3-Section Grip Dish:
- Deviled Eggs from above
- 🐰 Bunnies: I made the bunnies using my pancake batter recipe and a bunny waffle maker, but you may make the bunny pancakes using a bunny cookie cutter to achieve this look.
- A fruit medley: I used small diced strawberries, small diced kiwi, halved or quartered blueberries.
- Nest: I mainly used shredded carrots with some shredded apples. I mixed the two, transferred it to the dish, and formed it into a “nest.” Then I added halved blueberries to make them look like “eggs.”
Plating Easter-themed breakfast served in the 5-Section Grip Dish:
All of the above + A Butterfly pineapple 🦋: I cut the pineapple into slices and used a butterfly cookie cutter to achieve that look.
