Caprese Stuffed Eggs

Nargisi Kofta
For a spiced Indian variant of stuffed eggs, Nargisi kofta is the perfect choice. Start by blending mutton keema into soft pieces. Add turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, and coriander powder to the mix. Coat hard boiled eggs with this combination and add these to a kadhi in which tomato, onion, and yoghurt-based gravy is simmering. After cooking for half an hour, serve these delicious kofta with either rice or Indian flatbread.
Classic Deviled Eggs
If you are not into experimenting, try classic deviled eggs. After hard-boiling eggs, scoop out the yolks and make a creamy mixture. In a bowl, save all the yolk, mash them with the back of a fork, and pour in mayonnaise, salt to taste, mustard sauce, paprika, and black pepper powder. Mix it and fill it into a frosting tip bag. Now decorate your hard-boiled egg whites and sprinkle some paprika and freshly chopped coriander leaves or chives at the end.
Mediterranean Stuffed Eggs
If you would like to try a Mediterranean recipe of stuffed eggs, try this simpler variation for which you must have olives resting in your refrigerator.

Top hard-boiled eggs without yolk with this mixture and enjoy after drizzling olive oil on the top. You can also mash the yolk into the tangy mixture.
Smoked Salmon Stuffed Eggs
Eggs and fish are a great combination. You can make a recipe for stuffed eggs by combining these two sources of protein. In a bowl, mix chopped smoked salmon, scooped-out yolks, and cream cheese. You will have a smooth mixture in which you can infuse flavours using chopped dill, coriander leaves, and lemon juice along with paprika and black pepper powder. Fill halved hard-boiled egg whites with this mix and enjoy.
Avocado Stuffed Eggs
If you would like to add fruity flavours to the stuffed eggs, try making a creamy mixture of avocado and egg yolks. You can also add stir-fried and chopped red meat, chicken, or mutton into this combination. After adding salt to taste, black pepper, cumin powder, and red chilli powder decorate the hard-boiled eggs with a frosting pipe and drizzle olive oil and lemon on the top.
Mexican Corn Stuffed Eggs
Tangy hard-boiled eggs for dinner make for a perfect tangy meal. Combine boiled and mashed corn kernels with mashed egg yolks.

Fill halved hard-boiled eggs with this mouth-watering mix and sprinkle red chilli powder on the top.
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Eggs
For a meaty plate of stuffed eggs, start stir-frying shredded chicken in buffalo sauce, blue cheese, and cream cheese. Add mashed egg yolks to this mix to ensure nothing goes to waste.
