Deliciously creamy stuffed eggs

Faithful allies of breakfast and Easter potlucks, deviled eggs are loved by all. Each family seems to have its traditional recipe that all guests enjoy savoring from time to time.

This deviled egg recipe is wonderfully creamy thanks to a secret ingredient… cashews!

Dare to prepare this version of stuffed eggs for Easter brunch this year.

Soaking: 1 hour

Cooking: 10 minutes

Preparation: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the cashew spread 

¼ cup of cashew nuts

2 tablespoons of water

1 tablespoon ofolive oil

½ teaspoon lemon juice

You want to simplify your life and skip this step, use the cashew butter already made!

For the stuffed eggs 

6 free-range eggs

Cashew spread

¼ teaspoon of turmeric

1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper

Approach

1. Place the cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Leave to soak for an hour.
2. Meanwhile, place the 6 eggs in a medium sized saucepan. Cover the eggs with cold water, so that the water is an inch above the eggs.
3. Place the pan of eggs on the ring and bring to a boil. Let boil for 9 minutes.
4. Drain the eggs and place the whole eggs in a container of cold water filled with ice cubes for around ten minutes. (This step makes it easier to peel off the scales)
5. To make the cashew spread: Rinse and drain the cashews and place them in the food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients and grind.
6. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. To make it easier, you can cut the eggs in half using a wire.
7. Place the egg whites on a plate and the egg yolks in the food processor, with the cashew spread.
8. Grind the egg and cashew spread and add the seasonings, including turmeric, Dijon mustard and salt & pepper.
9. Grind this preparation until you obtain a yellow and homogeneous foam.

Stuff the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture and refrigerate until ready to serve. Optional: Garnish the deviled eggs with sprigs of chives

Happy Easter!
