Description
Ingredients
For the eggs:
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh chives, thinly sliced
1 English muffin, toasted and cut into croutons
For the Hollandaise sauce:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon lemon juice (plus more to taste)
1 egg yolk
Pinch of salt
Pinch of paprika (or cayenne pepper for extra heat)
Instructions
- Slice the eggs in half vertically, placing the yolks in a medium bowl and the whites on a serving platter.
-
Mash the yolks with a fork until they resemble coarse sand. Add the mayonnaise and mix until smooth.
-
Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a piping bag or Ziploc bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the mixture into each egg white, slightly overfilling them.
-
Cut the English muffin into small croutons and place one in the center of each egg.
-
For the Hollandaise sauce, whisk the lemon juice, egg yolk, salt, and paprika in a microwave-safe bowl. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking to emulsify. Microwave for 10 seconds, whisk again until smooth.
-
Drizzle the Hollandaise sauce over each egg, then sprinkle with more chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
For added heat, sprinkle cayenne pepper or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
These eggs can be served at room temperature for a short time but should be refrigerated if stored for longer.
