St. Patrick's Day Emerald Eggs

Submitted by CabinKat

"I ran across these on the Food Network page looking for an appetizer for my St. Patrick's Day fun meal. I love looking for and preparing recipes for any occasion. I love Deviled Eggs and these were perfect for the "green" luck of the Irish."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 12 Halves
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 6 hard-boiled eggs
• 1 cup watercress, chopped
• 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tarragon, chopped
• salt & pepper
• 4 -6 slices baked ham, thin sliced

directions

1. Once eggs are hard-boiled, cooled and pealed, cut in half & place yolk only in food processor. Add mayonnaise (you can use Miracle Whip if you prefer a zangier taste), watercress, scallions, & tarragon. Process until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a bit of a chunky texture, pulse until desired texture. Salt and pepper to taste.
2. Roll and place ham in each egg. I suggest placing a tad of yolk mixture in egg first (just a tad) to hold down the ham. Gently press in ham and fill with desired amount of yolk mixture.
3. Can be served immediately or chill for 1-2 hours before serving.
