Instructions
-
Prepare the Eggs: Begin by slicing the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully separate the yolks from the whites, placing the yolks in a small mixing bowl while setting the egg white halves aside on a platter.
-
-
Mash the Yolks: Using a fork, mash the yolks until they reach a crumbly texture, allowing for easy mixing with the other ingredients.
-
Flavor the Mixture: To the mashed yolks, add the finely chopped green onion, finely chopped garlic, Madras curry powder, Dijon mustard, and a sprinkle of celery salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
-
Incorporate Mayonnaise: Gradually incorporate the light mayonnaise into the yolk mixture, adding just enough to bind the ingredients together. If you prefer a drier filling, use less mayonnaise; for a creamier texture, add it a little at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
-
Prepare the Tomatoes: While the filling is coming together, slice the plum tomatoes into twelve even rounds, ensuring you have six rounds from each tomato. Arrange these slices on a large serving platter.
-
Season the Tomatoes: Lightly sprinkle the tomato slices with freshly ground black pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
-
Fill the Egg Whites: Using a heaping tablespoon, fill each reserved egg white half with the yolk mixture. Be generous to ensure each piece is flavorful and satisfying.
-
Assemble the Stacks: Place one filled egg white half atop each seasoned tomato slice, creating a delightful stack of flavors and textures.
-
Final Touches: To finish the dish, sprinkle the stacked eggs and tomato slices with freshly ground sea salt, followed by a dash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick, and a light sprinkle of paprika for a touch of color.
-
Garnish and Serve: For an appealing presentation, garnish the platter with sprigs of fresh parsley. These stuffed egg tomato stacks are now ready to be enjoyed, whether at a picnic, potluck, or as a delicious snack at home.
