Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 150 g cold-smoked salmon
  • 1 tsp minced dill
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • zest from 1/2 lemon
  • fish roe and extra dill sprigs (for decoration)

Instructions

  • Place the eggs (that must be at room temperature) in a pot and fill the pot with water until all the eggs are covered. Fresh eggs should stay on the bottom of the pot; replace any egg that might be floating.
  • Set the pot on high heat and bring to a boil. When the water boils, lower the heat to medium-high and let boil for 8-10 minutes (depending on the size of the eggs). When 8-10 minutes have passed, drainthe water and rinse the boiled eggs under cold water until they cool to room temperature.
  • While the eggs are cookin, you can prepare the smoked salmon mousse. Combine the cream cheese and smoked salmon in a container and blend until smooth. Since I use a hand blender, I usually cut the salmon slices in bits - alternatively you can just use a food processor and add the salmon slices whole. Finely mince the dill and add to salmon mixture, zest the lemon and add both the zest and juice. Stir to combine.
  • When the eggs have cooled to room temperature, remove shells and cut in half lengthwise. Cut off a little slice from both sides in order to even out the egg's roundness in order to make a flat base to prevent eggs from capsizing. Fill a pastry bag with the salmon mousse and pipe onto each egg half. Decorate with fish roe, dill sprigs or extra lemon zest. Keep refrigerated until serving.
