  • Yield

    Makes 12 Stuffed Eggs

Ingredients

6 hard-cooked large eggs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 large shallot, minced

3/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon leaves
Garnish: Fresh tarragon sprigs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Force yolks through a sieve into a bowl (or mash with a fork) and stir in remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large decorative tip and pipe into whites, mounding it. The stuffed eggs may be made 6 hours ahead and chilled. Covered.
