"What could be better than ham and eggs? I haven't tried this yet but it comes from the 60-Minute Gourmet and everything I've had from them was good. It sounds good for a luncheon. Let me know what you think."

 

• Ready In: 22mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 ounce cooked ham
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
• 1⁄4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
• salt and pepper, to taste
• pimientos or pickle, etc., for garnish

directions

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and add warm water to cover. Add a little salt, if desired, to facilitate later peeling. Bring slowly to a boil and simmer for about 12 minutes. Cool immediately under cold running water. Drain and peel.
2. Split the eggs in half. Put the yolks in a sieve and press through with the fingers.
3. Cut the ham into very fine dice. Combine the sieved egg yolks and ham in a mixing bow. Add the mustard and butter. Stir to blend.
4. Add the Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, chives, and salt and pepper to taste and blend thoroughly.
5. Equip a pastry bag with a star tube (No.4). Fill the bag with the ham mixture and pipe it into the egg white hollows. Garnish the top of each with a small cutout of olive, pimiento, pickle or other garnish of your choice.
