Salmon Caviar Stuffed Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Line rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Blend 3 tablespoons chives, oil, and lemon juice in medium bowl. Mix in smoked salmon. Fold in caviar. Chop 4 egg yolks (reserve remainder for another use) and stir into salmon mixture. Season to taste with ground black pepper. Pile 1 generous tablespoon salmon mixture in cavity of each egg-white half. Arrange eggs on prepared sheet. Cover with plastic; refrigerate up to 8 hours.
• Place eggs on platter. Sprinkle with additional chives. Garnish with lemon wedges and herb sprigs.

Steps:

• Remove the yolks from the eggs and place them in a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the creme fraiche, chives and lemon juice to the yolks and season very lightly with salt. Mix until the ingredients are well blended.
• Spoon the yolk mixture back into the whites and top with a teaspoon of caviar. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Arrange on lettuce leaves, garnish each egg with a small parsley sprig and serve.

Steps:

• In a large glass or stainless steel container, mix salt into water, stirring thoroughly until dissolved. With wire-mesh deep frying basket or other 1/4-inch metal screen, gently separate eggs from egg sack over bowl, by rubbing sack along screen. Take care not to scrape membrane from the egg sack, even if it means leaving some eggs behind. Pour brine mixture over eggs and allow to soak 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Soaking times for other salmon species: Sockeye or Red: 6 minutes; Pink or Humpy: 8 minutes; Coho or Silver: 10 minutes; King or Chinook: 14 minutes). While eggs soak, use tweezers to remove bits of membrane and broken eggshells. When soaking is complete, pour eggs into colander to drain. Rinse eggs quickly with cold water and drain for a few minutes. Cover colander with plastic wrap, place over bowl, allowing it to continue draining in refrigerator.
• After 8 to 12 hours, transfer the now-sticky eggs into glass bowl. Gently fold in just enough olive oil to make the individual eggs shiny and slick.
• Serving Suggestions: Salmon or ?red? caviar prepared this way is much less salty than the commercial variety, allowing the sweet flavor of the fresh roe to emerge. Because of the lower salt levels however, it should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 to 4 days. Its mild flavor lends itself to serving with cream cheese and crackers. A traditional favorite is salmon caviar atop celery sticks stuffed with cream cheese. Salmon caviar is delightful when added to salads with creamy herb or ranch-style dressing. This mild version of salmon caviar will be a welcome alternative to the more strongly flavored ?ikura? salmon eggs used in Japanese sushi or sashimi.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer. Add the vinegar. Gently break the quail eggs, one by one, into the simmering water and poach for 1 minute. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Place one cooled, poached quail egg on each crouton. Top with a little hollandaise sauce and caviar.
• Beat egg yolk. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Beat the egg until thickened, pale yellow and doubled in volume. Remove the bowl from the heat. While beating, slowly add the butter in a slow, but steady stream. When the butter is incorporated, add the lemon juice and Tabasco sauce. Mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Steps:

• Remove the yolks from the eggs. Mash the yolks, then mix them with the sour cream, chives, lemon juice, and wasabi. Fill this mixture decoratively back into the whites. Top with salmon caviar and garnish with the chives.

Steps:

• Gently place the eggs into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the vinegar and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and set a timer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat after 5 minutes and let sit an additional 2 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water. Immediately peel the eggs* and slice in half the long way. Remove the yolks to a mixing bowl and set the whites to the side. Using a fork, mash the yolks well. Add the mayonnaise, anchovy paste, mustard and white pepper and mix well. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a #6 round tip (1/2-inch diameter). Alternatively, use a sealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.
• Set the egg whites out in a row. Into half, spoon 1/4 teaspoon of the black caviar. Into the other half spoon 1/2 teaspoon of the red caviar. Pipe the filling on top of the caviar so that each resembles a full yolk. Garnish the black caviar stuffed eggs with a small amount of the red caviar and vice versa. Garnish each with a small sprig of dill and serve on a bed of mixed greens.

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine eggs with enough cold water to cover by 1 inch and bring water just to a boil. Remove pan from heat and let eggs stand, covered, 7 minutes if using quail eggs or 17 minutes if using large eggs. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over eggs, cracking shells against side of pan. Peel eggs.
• Cut a paper-thin slice off both ends of eggs to enable them to stand upright. If using quail eggs, cut one third off narrow end of each, discarding tops; if using large eggs, halve crosswise. Carefully remove yolks from whites and in a bowl mash yolks with a fork. If using quail eggs, stir in smaller measures of mayonnaise, shallot, and tarragon with salt and pepper to taste. If using large eggs, stir in larger measures of same ingredients with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon yolk mixture into whites and smooth tops. Chill stuffed eggs, covered with plastic wrap, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Just before serving top eggs with caviar.

Steps:

• Carefully scoop the yolks out of the cooked eggs and place in a bowl; lightly mash with a fork. Add the salmon, capers, 1 tablespoon of the chives, the lemon zest and salt and pepper, stirring with a fork. Carefully fold in the caviar.
• Mix the sour cream and mayonnaise together; add to the yolk mixture and stir gently to bind ingredients. Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture so it mounds attractively. Sprinkle lightly with the remaining tablespoon of chives. Arrange the eggs in a spoke fashion on a serving plate.
