Calories: 124kcal
Equipment
- Cooking pot with lid
- Parchment paper
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Piping bag or sealable bag
Ingredients
- 6 eggs older eggs are better than fresher eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup charred corn or 1 ear grilled corn divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Tajin
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 1 tablespoon cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Add eggs to a large pot and cover with water to 2” above the eggs. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off heat. Allow it to sit for 12 minutes.
- Drain and place the eggs in cold water. Peel as soon as they are cooled.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove yolks.
- Dip the cut edge of each egg in the Tajin to coat.
- To char the corn, spread it out on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Bake at 400° F(205°C) for 20-30 minutes stirring every 10 minutes until the desired amount of char is achieved.
- In a food processor, combine the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and 2/3 of the corn. Blend until your desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add yolk mixture to a food storage bag and seal. Snip off one corner of the bag to act as a piping bag. Fill each egg with yolk mixture.
- Garnish the eggs with remaining corn kernels, cotija cheese, and cilantro.
Notes
- Use older eggs for easier peeling, and ensure they are covered with water to prevent cracking during boiling. Immediately transfer boiled eggs to cold water to ease the peeling process.
- Customize with additional toppings like sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or a drizzle of hot sauce for added flavor.
- You can substitute parsley or green onion for cilantro if you do not like cilantro.
- Prepare the filling and boiled eggs ahead but assemble just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
- If you don't have a piping bag, use a sealable bag with the corner snipped to make filling easy.
