Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 can (6 oz) salmon, drained
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the pot with a lid, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 9-12 minutes, depending on how well-done you prefer your yolks. For slightly softer yolks, aim for 9 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, open the can of salmon and drain it thoroughly. Use a fork to flake the salmon into smaller pieces in a mixing bowl.
- After the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells easily.
- Slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in the bowl with the flaked salmon.
- Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the salmon and egg yolks. Mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the salmon mixture. Be generous with the filling for a delicious bite.
- Once all the egg whites are filled, arrange the stuffed eggs on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with additional dill or a sprinkle of paprika for color.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Skinny Salmon Stuffed Eggs as a nutritious low-carb snack or appetizer!
Tips
- Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs: For the best results, use eggs that are at least a week old. Fresh eggs can be harder to peel. Follow the boiling method carefully to achieve the perfect yolk texture—9 minutes for slightly soft yolks and up to 12 minutes for firmer ones.
- Flavor Boost: Don’t hesitate to customize the filling! You can add a splash of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. If you love herbs, feel free to mix in some chives or parsley alongside the dill.
- Make Ahead: These stuffed eggs can be prepared in advance. Fill them up and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. This makes them a fantastic option for meal prep or entertaining!
- Presentation Matters: For a stunning presentation, use a piping bag to fill the egg whites with the salmon mixture. You can also sprinkle some paprika or additional dill on top for a pop of color.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these stuffed eggs with a fresh salad or serve them alongside crunchy vegetable sticks for a well-rounded snack or appetizer.
