These Japanese-style eggs make a flavourful snack or light starter. Hard-boiled eggs are filled with a savoury blend of their own yolks and white miso, creating a rich, umami centre. Finished with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and a dusting of smoked paprika, they are perfect for a quick lunch atop a salad or as a simple appetiser. The recipe takes just 15 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 tsp white miso
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
a little smoked paprika

Method

Cook the eggs in boiling water for 10 mins to hard-boil them. Cool them under cold running water. Once cooled, peel off the shells carefully.
Cut each egg in half and transfer the yolks to a small bowl. Mix in the white miso, mashing until combined. Add a small splash of water to achieve a creamy texture. Fill the egg white halves with this mixture. Top with the toasted sesame seeds and finish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika. They can be eaten immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
