Uova Mimosa (Italian Deviled Eggs for Spring Celebrations)

Silvana Nava
Uova Mimosa, also known as Italian-style deviled eggs, are a simple yet incredibly flavorful appetizer. While they are perfect for spring gatherings, they can be enjoyed all year round.
These stuffed eggs are traditionally prepared on March 8th for International Women's Day, as the mimosa flower is its symbolic bloom. However, they also make a fantastic addition to an Easter brunch, a festive buffet, or any special occasion.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 120 g tuna in oil - 4 oz
  • 50 g mayonnaise - ~3 ½ tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon capers
  • 2 anchovy fillets
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • pink peppercorns - for decoration (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a saucepan filled with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cook for 10 minutes from the moment the water starts boiling.
  • Drain the eggs and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely before peeling the eggs, without breaking the whites
  • Cut them in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set aside 2 or 3 yolks (depending on the egg size) in a separate cup for the final garnish.
  • To the bowl with the yolks, add drained tuna, anchovy fillets, capers, mayonnaise, and chopped parsley.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend everything until you achieve a smooth, thick, and creamy mixture.
  • With a teaspoon, generously fill each egg white with the tuna and yolk cream. Spread the filling over the entire surface, not just in the hollow left by the yolk.
  • Place the stuffed eggs on a serving dish. Crumble or grate the reserved egg yolks over the top to create the mimosa flower effect.
    TIP: For a finer texture, freeze the yolks for 15-20 minutes before grating. This helps prevent them from sticking to the grater.
  • Your Uova Mimosa (Italian Deviled Eggs) are ready to serve! Sprinkle a little pink peppercorns on top for decoration (optional).
