Preparation
Step 1
Boil eggs in advance and let them cool. Use natural cheese of good quality without vegetable fats. Mayonnaise can be homemade; I used homemade. Any red fish works; I used trout.
Step 2
Peel the boiled eggs and cut them in half.
Step 3
Carefully remove the yolks and place in a separate bowl. Add the cream cheese, breaking it up with your hands.
Step 4
Add a spoon of mayonnaise and mash with a fork. Adjust thickness with more mayonnaise if needed; I added an extra spoon because my mayo was very thick.
Step 5
Wash and dry fresh herbs, then finely chop. I used dill.
Step 6
Add the chopped herbs to the filling. You can also add a clove of garlic. Be cautious with salt and pepper - the mayonnaise and cheese are already salty. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
Step 7
Transfer the filling to a piping bag and cut the tip. Pipe the filling into the egg whites. There will be extra filling; it can be used for sandwiches.
Step 8
Slice the fish thinly. Cut into triangles resembling small carrots. Place on top of the eggs. Use parsley leaves for “greens.”
Step 9
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
