French-Style Stuffed Eggs

Lorrie Hulston Corvin, Cooking Light MARCH 2005

Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup minced reduced-fat ham
  • 1 tablespoon minced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 (1-ounce) slices white bread, torn into large pieces
  • Cooking spray
  • Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Preparation 

1) Place your eggs in a large saucepan. Cover with water to 1 inch above eggs; bring just to a boil. Remove the saucepan from heat; cover and let stand 12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold running water until cool.

2) Peel eggs; slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; discard 4 yolks. Place remaining 4 yolks in a medium bowl. Add ham and next 7 ingredients (through pepper); stir until combined.

3) Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1 cup.

4) Spoon about 1 teaspoon yolk mixture into each egg white half. Top each half with 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs. Coat breadcrumbs with cooking spray.

5) Preheat broiler.

6) Place eggs on a baking sheet; broil 1 minute or until breadcrumbs are toasted. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.

7) Enjoy your holiday meal!
