Pink stuffed egg appetizer

In this recipe, I will demonstrate how to prepare a stuffed egg appetizer for the festive table. I must say right away that the appetizer will not be quite ordinary. First, the eggs will be a bright, eye-catching pink color. Secondly, their filling will be with the addition of herring, and will taste like a forshmak. In the recipe, I demonstrated the option of serving an appetizer with red caviar, but I would like to note that you can cook pink stuffed eggs without caviar. In this case, the festive New Year's snack will also turn out to be quite budgetary, which is always nice!

Ingredients

• Eggs - 5 pcs.
• Boiled beets - 1 pc.
• Herring fillet - 1 pc.
• Lemon - 1/4
• Sour cream 20% - 2 tbsp. spoons
• Fresh dill - a few twigs
• Red caviar (optional)
• Freshly ground pepper
• Salt

Directions

1. We prepare products.
2. Cook the beets in advance, cool and peel.
3. We take the eggs out of the refrigerator about an hour before cooking, so that the temperature inside them is close to room temperature.
4. We begin to boil the eggs in cold water. Cook for 15 minutes. Then put it in a bowl with cold water and cool.
5. We clean the eggs and cut them lengthwise into 2 parts, being careful not to damage the proteins.
6. We remove the yolks, put them in a separate bowl and crush them with a fork.
7. Rub the beets on a coarse grater. We shift together with the released juice into a deep bowl and pour 1 liter of boiling water.
8. Place the egg whites in the water with the beetroot and leave for 1 hour.
9. While the proteins are colored, we prepare the filling for the eggs.
10. Cut off 10 thin slices from the herring fillet (preferably from the middle) - we will use them to serve a snack. Grind the rest of the fillet with a blender. Finely chop the dill.
11. Add the previously chopped yolks, sour cream and chopped dill to a bowl of herring. Add lemon juice (pre-roll the lemon on the working surface so that it gives more juice), a little salt (the herring is already salty enough) and freshly ground pepper. Mix the filling.
12. We remove the halves of the eggs, painted pink, from the water with the beets, and let them dry a little.
13. Fill the egg whites with the prepared filling. Decorate the stuffed eggs with a piece of herring and a sprig of dill. If desired, you can use a small amount of red caviar.
14. This is definitely a very worthy appetizer that you should definitely put on the festive table!
15. Bon Appetit!
