Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • ½ white onion diced
  • ½ Cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 Teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 Teaspoon salt
  • ½ Teaspoon black pepper

To Garnish

  • rosemary leaves
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced

Instructions

  • Hard boil the eggs. Add the eggs to a saucepan with cold water filled just enough to cover the tops of the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 10 minutes. Immediately place into ice water and let cool completely before peeling.
  • Slice the eggs half and remove the yolk. Add yolks into a bowl and arrange halved eggs on a platter.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to bowl and mix until smooth. I recommend using a hand mixer but you can mash with a fork if preferred.
  • Add into a piping bag with a wide tip, or into a ziplock bag with a corner cut off.
  • Pipe mixture into the halved eggs
  • Arrange eggs into a circle to form a wreath and use rosemary or thyme sprigs to create texture.
  • Decorate with red pepper and rosemary garnishes.

Notes

Use cold eggs to peel: Rapid cooling loosens shells for clean halves.
Mash until silky: A smooth yolk base gives the neatest piping.
Dry the whites: Pat cut surfaces so the filling grips and doesn’t slide.
Chop tiny: Fine onion and herbs keep the piping tip from clogging.
Pipe wide: A larger tip makes quick, tidy swirls.
