Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 cup roasted red bell peppers, finely chopped or blended
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese, small-curd and well-drained
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley and chives), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Plunge eggs into an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Carefully peel the eggs and slice them lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Arrange the empty whites on a serving platter.
  4. Prepare the red filling: In a blender or food processor, combine 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 cup roasted red bell peppers, 4 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Prepare the white filling: In a mixing bowl, mash 4 egg yolks with 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. Mix until well combined but slightly textured. Season to taste.
  6. Prepare the blue filling: Mix 4 egg yolks with 1/4 cup finely chopped blue cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until creamy with noticeable blue cheese bits.
  7. Using a piping bag or small spoon, fill a third of the egg white halves with each filling, arranging them in red, white, and blue sections on your platter.
  8. Garnish the red filling with smoked paprika, the white filling with extra chopped herbs, and the blue filling with a few blue cheese crumbles.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and fillings set.

Notes

Use the off-heat steep method for boiling eggs to avoid overcooked yolks. Chill eggs in an ice bath for easier peeling. Drain roasted peppers well to avoid watery filling. Press cottage cheese through a fine sieve for smoother texture. Piping bags help with neat filling but a spoon works fine. Prepare eggs and fillings a day ahead but fill eggs the same day for best freshness. Avoid freezing as texture changes.
