How to Make It

Hard Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat, letting the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes for perfect hard-boiled eggs.

Cool the Eggs

Once the time is up, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes. This cooling process makes peeling much easier and prevents a greenish ring from forming around the yolk.

Prepare the Filling

Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add mayo, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, and salt to the bowl. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.

Fill the Egg Whites

Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Be generous with the filling for that perfect bite.

Garnish the Eggs

For the garnish, grate or finely chop the peeled carrot and set it aside. Blanch the broccoli rabe or broccolini in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then plunge them into ice water. Chop the blanched veggies finely. Sprinkle the carrot and broccoli rabe or broccolini on top of the filled eggs for a vibrant touch.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Freezer: No, eggs do not freeze well.
Reheat: Not necessary; serve chilled.

Tips for Best Results

• Use very fresh eggs for easy peeling.
• Adjust the salt according to your taste preference.
