Ingredients

4servings

8 hard-boiled eggs6 tablespoons mayonnaise3 teaspoons honey mustard1 ½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice3 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon1 ½ tablespoons minced sweet onion salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste16 leaves tarragon leaves

Instructions

Prepare and halve eggs

Start by peeling your hard-boiled eggs and slicing them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks and set the whites aside on a plate, cut side up. Pop the yolks into a small bowl and mash them up with a fork until they’re crumbly.

Mix creamy filling

Next, stir in the mayonnaise, honey mustard, and a little lemon juice. If you have a mini food processor or blender, it’s a perfect time to use it—it helps make the filling super smooth and creamy without any lumps. Then, mix in the chopped tarragon, finely minced onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. If you want things to look a bit fancier, try filling a piping bag or a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off, and pipe the filling in.

Garnish with Tarragon

Finally, tuck a small tarragon leaf on top of each egg for a fresh garnish. Pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve, and enjoy!
