Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 7 large eggs (preferably a few weeks old)
  • 10 medium green olives (coarsely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon capers (finely chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (see notes)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon green olive juice (from the jar)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Extra olives for garnish

Instructions

  • Start by placing your eggs in a medium saucepan and covering them with cold water. Make sure there’s about an inch of water above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes. After that, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool them down quickly and stop the cooking process. This will help make peeling easier.
  • Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel them under running water. This helps remove stubborn shell pieces. Set the peeled eggs aside.
  • Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and set the egg whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are fine and crumbly.
  • To the mashed yolks, add the chopped green olives, capers, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  • Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Don’t worry about making them perfect; a little rustic charm adds character!
  • Top each filled egg with a small piece of green olive for garnish. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
