Spicy Deviled Eggs with Vegetable Pâté

Deviled eggs or stuffed eggs are a super delicious dish which can be served as an appetiser, side dish or even as a lunch main dish. They're super easy to make and even easier to make disappear.

You will need:

• 9 eggs, boiled

• 60g mayo

• 120g vegetable pâté

• 1 tsp chopped parsley, fresh or dry

• 1 tsp chopped dill, fresh or dry

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• 1/2 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes

• parsley leaves or rocket/arugula for garnishing

How to:

1. Hard boil the eggs (about 10-12 minutes) and let them cool down completely

2. Slice each egg in half, lengthwise

3. Place all the egg yolks in a bowl and mash them with a fork

4. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well

5. Fill each half of the egg white with a heaped teaspoon of mixture and place them on a plate/tray

6. Once all the halves are filled, sprinkle a bit of ground pepper and chilli flakes on top

7. Place one parsley leaf or rocket leaf on each egg

8. Enjoy straight away or refrigerate

• You can use chicken or duck liver pâté instead of the vegetable one

• You can add to the mixture, or garnish with a few chopped olives

• For an extra bit of kick, you can add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mixture

• You can use a piping bag for the mixture instead of spooning it in if you want these deviled eggs to look fabulous, but I honestly can't be bothered with that if I make them for a random Tuesday lunch.
