Egg cream with chives – a simple and delicious appetizer Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes Total time: 20 minutes Number of servings: 4 If you are looking for a quick and tasty recipe, egg cream with chives is the perfect choice! This simple recipe transforms basic ingredients into a refined appetizer, ideal for a party or a family meal. Here’s how you can prepare this delicacy step by step. ### Necessary ingredients: - 5 boiled eggs - 2 teaspoons of mustard (preferably Dijon mustard for a more intense flavor) - 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine (for a fluffier cream, use butter) - A few sprigs of fresh chives (or green onion, if you prefer) - Salt and pepper, to taste ### Step 1: Boiling the eggs Start by boiling the 5 eggs. Place them in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring the water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat and let the eggs boil for 8-10 minutes, depending on how well done you want them. Eggs boiled for 8 minutes will have a softer yolk, while those boiled for 10 minutes will be fully cooked. After the time is up, place the eggs in cold water to stop the cooking process. ### Step 2: Preparing the cream Once the eggs have cooled, peel them and place them in a bowl. Use a fork to mash them until you get a fine paste. This step is essential for achieving a creamy texture, so take your time! ### Step 3: Adding the ingredients Add 2 teaspoons of mustard and 1 tablespoon of melted butter to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are perfectly combined. Taste the cream and add salt and pepper to your preference. ### Step 4: Finishing with chives Finely chop a few sprigs of fresh chives and add them to the mixture. The chives will add a note of freshness and a slightly spicy flavor, perfect for balancing the cream. Mix again to evenly distribute the chives. ### Step 5: Serving The egg cream can be served immediately on slices of toasted bread, savory crackers, or even on fresh vegetables. You can decorate the plate with a few whole chive leaves for a more elegant look. This recipe is versatile – you can also add some chopped olives or a little feta cheese for a different taste. ### Useful tips: - If you don’t have chives on hand, you can substitute with green onion or red onion for a similar taste. - For an extra flavor boost, add a few drops of lemon juice or a little Worcestershire sauce. - The egg cream can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, making it ideal for party preparations. This egg cream recipe is not only simple but also delicious, perfect for impressing guests at a festive meal. Try it and enjoy a fantastic appetizer that everyone will surely love!
