The deviled eggs taste hot, spicy and creamy. They are very easy and quick to prepare. You can find a detailed stuffed eggs recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions here at the very bottom.
What are Russian eggs?
Russian eggs are hard-boiled eggs that are cut in half and filled with a savory filling. They are served cold, for example as an appetizer or as finger food on buffets. Especially at Christmas and New Year’s Eve, the stuffed eggs are a popular party food.
Where does the name “Russian eggs” come from?
Stuffed eggs are common in many countries. Where the name “Russian eggs” comes from is not clear. There are some guesses for it.
After all, many Russian salads contain mayonnaise. Russian eggs are also prepared with it. So the name could come from it. In addition, Russian eggs were often garnished with caviar. The name can also be traced back to this.
Stuffed eggs with mayonnaise or sour cream
The deviled eggs can be made with mayonnaise or sour cream. I have already made them with all of these ingredients. And they taste delicious with both mayonnaise and sour cream.
If you don’t know which you’d rather use, a mixture of them also works for the recipe. By the way, it’s the same with Russian carrot salad or Russian beet salad.
Refine the filling to taste
I seasoned the egg yolk cream for Russian eggs only with garlic, salt and black pepper. You can adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.
You can also experiment with different spices and herbs. For example, mix dill, parsley, basil or spring onions into the egg yolk filling. You can also add some mustard. Or use any spices, such as paprika powder**, to enhance the egg yolk cream.
In general, there are no limits to your imagination when filling Russian eggs. Try different ingredients! Refine the egg yolk cream with chopped vegetables, fried mushrooms, fried onions, hummus, grated cheese and feta cheese.
You can garnish the filled eggs with my vegan black caviar, with fresh herbs, with capers or olives.
Ideal as finger food, snack or appetizer
You can comfortably eat the deviled eggs out of your hand. They are therefore perfect as finger food for a party. In addition, you can devour them as a snack if you feel a little hunger in between. Russian eggs can also be served as a cold appetizer.
Bioland or Demeter eggs with raised brother chicks
For less animal suffering, buy organic eggs for the recipe that bear the Bioland or Demeter seal. Also, opt for brands that help raise brother chickens under animal-friendly husbandry conditions. On the website of the German Animal Welfare Association you will find recommendable and not recommendable initiatives “Without killing chicks”.
Even better is to buy eggs from an organic farmer nearby. That way you can first see for yourself how the chickens live on this farm.
