Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs - hard-boiled
  • 2 ounces lean chorizo - see Ingredients Notes in post
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons Mexican crema - see Ingredients Notes in post
  • ½ lime +/- - squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons cotija - grated or crumbled (more for garnish)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh herbs (chives or cilantro) - finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 8 dashes hot sauce - more or less to taste
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Boil eggs for 10-11 minutes. Add to a bowl to chill. Peel, and slice lengthwise. Add the egg yolks to a medium prep bowl. Arrange whites on a tray or plate.
  • Brown the chorizo over medium-high heat. Drain or pat away any grease. Cool.
  • Mash the egg yolks with a fork or press through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Add 3 of the 4 tablespoons of crema, chorizo, 2 teaspoons fresh herbs (chives or cilantro), ½ teaspoon dijon mustard, juice from ½ lime, and 8 dashes hot sauce (more or less to taste). Mix until creamy, and pipeable. Season with salt and pepper. NOTE: If mixture is dry, add additional crema.
  • Pipe the filling into the prepared egg whites. Garnish with additional herbs, crumbled cotija, and serve with lime wedges.
