Ingredients

  • 4 eggs large
  • 4 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise or any mayo of your choice
  • 1 tsp This is an affiliate link.whole grain mustard
  • 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
  • salt to taste

For the smoked mackerel pate

  • 100 g/ 1-2 fish fillets mackerel or any other hot smoked fish
  • 100 g/ 1/3 cup cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1-2 tsp capers or chopped pickles/gherkins
  • micro greens

Instructions

  • Bring the eggs to a boil, cover them with a lid and turn the heat off, let them sit covered for 15 minutes. Drain the water and pour cold water over the eggs, leave them until cooled.
  • Meanwhile, add skinned and de-boned mackerel to a medium bowl, flake it with a fork, then add cream cheese, lemon juice and zest and mix with a fork until well combined but the fish is still quite chunky, then add capers and set aside.
  • Peel the eggs, cut them in half lengthwise and remove the yolks to a small bowl. Turn the yolks into a paste using the back of a spoon, then add the mayonnaise, whole grain mustard and white wine vinegar, taste and add salt if needed. (I didn't as mine was plenty salty from the mayonnaise.) The yolk mixture should be light, creamy and pipable in texture. If yours is too heavy, add a touch more mayonnaise.
  • Fill the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture using a teaspoon or pipe with a pastry bag/ziplock bag, then top with a teaspoon of the smoked mackerel pate and a pinch of micro greens.

Notes

  • If you don't like smoked mackerel, try these devilled eggs with smoked salmon, rotisserie chicken or ham instead.
  • Fresh eggs are harder to peel after boiling than eggs that are less fresh. Buying them a few days in advance can make this step far easier.
