Stuffed Eggs

Serves: 4

Ingredients

4 hard-boiled eggs
8 oz cooked ham, ground
4 tbsps grated mild cheese
4 tbsps sour cream
2 tsps mustard
A pinch of salt and pepper
2 tsps chopped fresh dill or chives
Dry bread crumbs
Melted Butter

1. Using a egg pricker or pin, make a small hole in the egg.*
2. Lower the eggs gently into boiling water.
3. As the eggs come back to the boil, roll them around with the bowl of a spoon for 2-3 minutes. This will help set yolk in the middle of the whites. Allow the eggs to cook 9-10 minutes after the water reboils.
4. Drain and place the eggs under cold running water. Allow the eggs to cool completely and leave in cold water until ready to peel.
5. Peel the eggs, cut them in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Combine yolks and all the remaining ingredients except the bread crumbs and melted butter and mix well.
6. Pipe or spoon the mixture into each egg white and mound the top, smoothing with a small knife. Sprinkle on the bread crumbs, covering the filling and the edge of the whites completely. Place the eggs in a heatproof dish and drizzle with melted butter. Place under a preheated broiler for about three minutes, or until crisp and golden brown on top.
