Salmon Caviar Stuffed Eggs Recipes

CAVIAR STUFFED EGGS

Steps:

• Gently place the eggs into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add the vinegar and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and set a timer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat after 5 minutes and let sit an additional 2 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water. Immediately peel the eggs* and slice in half the long way. Remove the yolks to a mixing bowl and set the whites to the side. Using a fork, mash the yolks well. Add the mayonnaise, anchovy paste, mustard and white pepper and mix well. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a #6 round tip (1/2-inch diameter). Alternatively, use a sealable plastic bag with the tip cut off.
• Set the egg whites out in a row. Into half, spoon 1/4 teaspoon of the black caviar. Into the other half spoon 1/2 teaspoon of the red caviar. Pipe the filling on top of the caviar so that each resembles a full yolk. Garnish the black caviar stuffed eggs with a small amount of the red caviar and vice versa. Garnish each with a small sprig of dill and serve on a bed of mixed greens.

SMOKED SALMON DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a pot large enough to hold them in a single layer. Cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a full boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs stand for 15 minutes. Drain the eggs and fill the pot with cold water. Set aside until the eggs are cool.
• Peel the eggs and then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully. Place the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and arrange the whites on a platter in a single layer with the cut sides up and sprinkle with salt.
• To the egg yolks, add the sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, salmon, salt, and pepper. Beat on medium speed until fluffy. With a small spoon, fill the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture. Cover loosely with plastic wrap (you don't want to flatten the filling) and refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavors to blend.
• When ready to serve, garnish with a dollop of salmon roe and some extra chopped chives. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

CAVIAR STUFFED EGGS

Steps:

• Remove the yolks from the eggs. Mash the yolks, then mix them with the sour cream, chives, lemon juice, and wasabi. Fill this mixture decoratively back into the whites. Top with salmon caviar and garnish with the chives.

FRESH CHUM SALMON CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a large glass or stainless steel container, mix salt into water, stirring thoroughly until dissolved. With wire-mesh deep frying basket or other 1/4-inch metal screen, gently separate eggs from egg sack over bowl, by rubbing sack along screen. Take care not to scrape membrane from the egg sack, even if it means leaving some eggs behind. Pour brine mixture over eggs and allow to soak 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Soaking times for other salmon species: Sockeye or Red: 6 minutes; Pink or Humpy: 8 minutes; Coho or Silver: 10 minutes; King or Chinook: 14 minutes). While eggs soak, use tweezers to remove bits of membrane and broken eggshells. When soaking is complete, pour eggs into colander to drain. Rinse eggs quickly with cold water and drain for a few minutes. Cover colander with plastic wrap, place over bowl, allowing it to continue draining in refrigerator.
• After 8 to 12 hours, transfer the now-sticky eggs into glass bowl. Gently fold in just enough olive oil to make the individual eggs shiny and slick.
• Serving Suggestions: Salmon or ?red? caviar prepared this way is much less salty than the commercial variety, allowing the sweet flavor of the fresh roe to emerge. Because of the lower salt levels however, it should be refrigerated and consumed within 3 to 4 days. Its mild flavor lends itself to serving with cream cheese and crackers. A traditional favorite is salmon caviar atop celery sticks stuffed with cream cheese. Salmon caviar is delightful when added to salads with creamy herb or ranch-style dressing. This mild version of salmon caviar will be a welcome alternative to the more strongly flavored ?ikura? salmon eggs used in Japanese sushi or sashimi.

RUSSIAN DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Remove the yolks from the eggs and place them in a bowl. Mash them with a fork, then add the kefir, wasabi paste, mayonnaise, and sea salt and mix well. Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites, topping each egg half with about 1 teaspoon of caviar. Arrange the deviled eggs on a platter and garnish with the fresh herbs.

ROLLED OMELETS WITH SALMON CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a bowl beat the eggs well with 1/3 cup water and the salt.
• Heat a 6- to 7-inch non-stick skillet over moderate heat until it is hot and brush it lightly with the oil. Half fill a 1/4-cup measure with the egg mixture, pour the mixture into the skillet, and tilt and rotate the skillet to coat the bottom.
• Cook the egg sheet for 10 seconds, or until it is just set, beginning with the side closest to the handle and tilting the skillet away from you, roll it up using a rubber spatula, and keep the roll in the skillet at the side opposite the handle.
• Brush the skillet with more oil if necessary, half fill the 1/4-cup measure with the egg mixture, and pour in the mixture. Tilt the skillet so that the mixture coats the bottom and flows under the egg roll, cook the egg sheet for 10 seconds, or until it is just set, and roll the egg roll back over the egg sheet, forming a thicker egg roll.
• Half fill the 1/4-cup measure with the egg mixture and pour the mixture into the skillet. Tilt the skillet so that the mixture coats the bottom and flows under the egg roll, cook the egg sheet for 10 seconds, or until it is just set, and roll the egg roll back over the egg sheet in the same manner.
• Turn the egg roll out onto a sheet of wax paper and let it cool. Make egg rolls with the remaining egg mixture in the same manner. There should be at least 4 rolls. (The egg rolls may be made up to 1 day ahead and kept covered and chilled. Let the rolls come to room temperature before assembling the hors d'oeuvres.)
• With a sharp knife trim the ends of the rolls diagonally and cut the rolls diagonally into 3/4-inch pieces. Turn the rolls cut side up and top each roll with a dollop of the sour cream and a small spoonful of the caviar. Arrange the hors d'oeuvres decoratively on a platter.

SALMON CAVIAR TORTE

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together mayonnaise and butter and stir in eggs, celery, onion, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread mixture in an oiled 9-inch springform pan and sprinkle evenly with scallion greens, chives, and dill.
• In a small bowl stir together cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Drop dollops of cream-cheese mixture over herbs and spread carefully (keeping herb layer intact) to form an even topping. Chill torte, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Just before serving, run a thin knife around edge of pan and remove side. Transfer torte to a serving plate and spread caviar over top. Garnish torte with dill sprigs and serve with toast points.

STUFFED EGGS WITH CAVIAR

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine eggs with enough cold water to cover by 1 inch and bring water just to a boil. Remove pan from heat and let eggs stand, covered, 7 minutes if using quail eggs or 17 minutes if using large eggs. Drain hot water from pan and run cold water over eggs, cracking shells against side of pan. Peel eggs.
• Cut a paper-thin slice off both ends of eggs to enable them to stand upright. If using quail eggs, cut one third off narrow end of each, discarding tops; if using large eggs, halve crosswise. Carefully remove yolks from whites and in a bowl mash yolks with a fork. If using quail eggs, stir in smaller measures of mayonnaise, shallot, and tarragon with salt and pepper to taste. If using large eggs, stir in larger measures of same ingredients with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon yolk mixture into whites and smooth tops. Chill stuffed eggs, covered with plastic wrap, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Just before serving top eggs with caviar.
