Stuffed Eggs with Savory Zabaglione, Asparagus, Guanciale, and Pecorino

Recipe inspired by a Roman chef, trying to replicate the idea. The process seems difficult with many steps, but it's actually very simple. It can be made for many people as an appetizer, and the preparation time doesn't change except for opening the eggs.

Recipe inspired by a Roman chef, trying to replicate the idea. The process seems difficult with many steps, but it's actually very simple. It can be made for many people as an appetizer, and the preparation time doesn't change except for opening the eggs.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, bring a small pot of water to a boil.
- 2
While the water is boiling, open the eggs at 3/4 of the way and separate the yolks from the whites (I used a specific tool to open the eggs perfectly). Cut the guanciale into strips.
- 3
When the water is boiling, add the asparagus (about 5 minutes). Meanwhile, in another pan, cook the guanciale until it's nice and crispy, then drain it on a paper towel.
- 4
Once the asparagus is removed, salt them and add the eggshells to the water, letting them cook for at least 10 minutes (be careful as they will become more fragile).
- 5
While sterilizing the eggs, make the zabaglione in a double boiler, using the boiling water from the shells. In a metal or glass bowl, place the 4 yolks with a pinch of salt, whisk them, and add the butter. Mix with the whisk until the butter is well combined, then slowly add the white wine, continuing to mix until it thickens like a cream. I recommend a good white wine as it will provide all the flavor.
- 6
At this point, carefully remove the shells from the water and rinse them with cold water. Now, make the Pecorino fondue with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cream (about 20 ml) and 1 1/2 tablespoons of Pecorino (about 20 grams) and a bit of black pepper (use equal parts based on how much you need), also in a double boiler.
- 7
Now, chop the guanciale with a knife and cut the asparagus stalks into pieces, keeping 6 small pieces for garnish.
- 8
Assemble 2 eggs with fondue at the bottom, zabaglione, and crispy guanciale on top, and the other 2 with asparagus pieces, zabaglione, a little guanciale, and place 3/2 pieces of asparagus sticking out. Serve on an egg carton or in a special container if you have one.

Baked Eggs, Tomatoes & Smoked Scamorza Cheese Baked Eggs, Tomatoes & Smoked Scamorza Cheese
Hello everyone! 🙂 Sorry I have not been posting these past days, unfortunately I have been trying to recover from the flu. This morning is actually the first day that I am feeling better and was able to make this quick little brunch treat. I wanted to make something tasty that would make my tastebuds jump again, we all know tastebuds don’t work when your fighting that cold/flu/virus. 🙂This recipe is usually made with Feta Cheese, but because we wanted something much more tastier I have tweaked it with Smoked Scamorza Cheese a close version to Mozzarella. It melts beautifully, and it truly tastes delicious!! 🙂 Foodzesty -

I wanted to make something simple but pretty that would make everyone happy.After chopping the onion, absorb the excess moisture with kitchen papers to refrain it from being watery when you put it on the eggs.The tuna salad is seasoned already so it doesn't actually need sauce. You can place the stuffed eggs as they are in your bento boxes. Recipe by Minaichigo cookpad.japan -

Friday, end of week and the weekend just a few hours away in this part of the world. I hope you all had a good week and looking forward to your weekend plans.This recipe is a bit different than the usual stuffed Cannelloni, I have tweaked it with some of my added ingredients, but it still tastes delicious. The first time I made this recipe many years ago, I got one of those looks as if I was crazy, but when everyone at our dinner table tried it their expressions changed dramatically.I love how Leek, mozzarella combines nicely with the feta cheese giving it a smooth but a bit rich taste. Give it a try and see for yourself Foodzesty -
