Eggs are back! Not that they were ever really away, but a lot of health concerns that "fried" eggs some years ago have now been pushed away, and eggs are once again considered a healthy protein,as part of a balanced diet. CEO Charlie Lanktree with national brand Eggland's Best, stopped by
Tonia's Kitchen to
peel back the shell of what eggs are about, and scramble some misconceptions. He says a good egg starts with what you're feeding the chicken. He says an all natural, vegetarian diet given to the hens, like they do, simply means a better tasting egg. Lanktree says chickens given feed that includes byproducts, while safe, just doesn't make for as good an egg. He says it's important you check the packaging to find out what your egg producer is feeding their hens!
Charlie suggests this delicious egg dish!
Ingredients
- 12 Eggland's Best Hard-Cooked eggs
- 1 can (6 oz.) Salmon, drained & flaked
- 1/2 cup Light Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh Dill, finely chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation
Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks to a medium bowl; set aside the egg whites.
Add the salmon, mayonnaise, dill, and pepper to the yolks; mix until well combined.
Spoon or pipe the mixture back into the egg whites.
Serve, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
Notes and Suggestions
Make them fancy! Simply fill a resealable plastic storage bag with the egg yolk filling. Snip off a corner of the bag. Pipe the filling directly into the egg whites.
Top with additional chopped dill or chopped pimento for garnish.
