Everyone needs one quick, easy, go-to recipe that looks and tastes like a million bucks. These eggs work like a charm: the fragrant truffle oil adds rich, sexy appeal, and a sprinkle of black lava salt lends an elegant finish. Make them super bling by adding a tiny flake of edible 24k gold leaf to each.
Ingredients
Makes 20
Filling
Topping
Step 1
Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl. Set 20 egg white halves on a platter, cover, and refrigerate. This recipe uses 12 egg yolks, but only yields enough filling for 20 halves; reserve the extra 4 whites for another use.
Step 2
With a fork, mash the yolks to a smooth consistency. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, truffle oil, and salt, and mix until smooth. (You can also do this using an electric mixer with a whip attachment.) Taste and season accordingly.
Step 3
Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a plain or large star tip, then pipe the mixture evenly into the egg white halves. Or fill the eggs with a spoon, dividing the filling evenly.
Step 4
Top each egg half with a tiny sprinkle of black lava salt, a grind of fresh-cracked black pepper, and a chive flower, if using.
Specialty salts, such as black lava salt or other gourmet varieties, are available both online and in specialty and gourmet food stores.

Back to TopDelicious! I too would up the truffle flavor - probably with powder. I actually has black lava salt for the topping and I thought it was perfect - next time I will top with chive stems - not a flower

Made these for a dinner club party. People loved the truffle flavoring. I garnished mind with cracked black salt sand a sprig of clover leaves. Used cream fraiche.

The recipe does not seem to match the picture. I know there was a comment on using edible gold foil but it also looks like a shaving of truffle was added to the top of the egg and I see no chives. I do think more truffle oil is in order to enhance the flavor.

Very easy recipe. it was a hit at the parties. I would use less salt if you are adding blk salt on top. I would add more truffle oil for the flavor to really come out.

Amazing, but don't add salt if you are putting black salt on top. They will become too salty. The black salt is a great garnish. These were really perfect. A big hit!

I really enjoyed the flavor of these, but the flavor of the truffle seemed to dissipate after being in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. I had some truffle salt that I used on top to enhance the flavor.
