Mitch Prensky, chef-owner at Supper in Philadelphia, shared this recipe with us. Hard-boiled egg yolks are mashed with goat cheese and chives, then scooped into the hard-boiled egg whites and topped with asparagus, for a springtime riff on deviled eggs.

INGREDIENTS
- 12 eggs
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh chèvre (goat cheese)
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Blanched asparagus tips, thinly sliced, for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Hard-boil the eggs; cool, peel, and halve them; and carefully remove the yolks. Reserve the whites.
- Combine the egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, goat cheese, lemon juice, and chives in a medium, nonreactive bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, then mix well until the yolks are broken up and the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Evenly pipe or spoon the yolk mixture into the reserved egg white halves. As desired, top with thinly sliced, blanched asparagus tips.
Sounds great. I would think the asparagus would add a bit of crunch right in the bite of it. Delicious.
This sounds delicious. I would cook the asparagus thoroughly in boiling salted water, however. If the asparagus is only blanched, wouldn't it impart a texture to the eggs that's not quite desirable?
