Minted Pea Deviled Eggs Recipes

SPRING PEA DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat; prepare a large bowl of ice water. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and transfer to the ice water to cool completely. Microwave the peas according to the package directions; drain and let cool. Peel the eggs, halve lengthwise and remove the yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside on a plate. Blend the yolksand 1 cup of the peas in a food processor until crumbly. Add the olive oil, sour cream, chopped mint, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon water and process until the mixture is smoothand light. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the whites. Garnish each egg half with 1 of the remaining peas and a mint leaf. Serve immediately in a deviled egg tray or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

DEVILED PEAS

Steps:

• Place peas in an ungreased 1.5 L (1 1/2 qt) casserole.
• Combine next 4 ingredients in a bowl. Spoon over peas and spread evenly.
• Layer egg on top.
• Sprinkle with cheese.
• Melt margarine and stir in cracker crumbs. Sprinkle over cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, in 350F oven for about 45 minutes until hot and bubbly.

MINTED PEA AND FETA OMELETTE

Steps:

• Put the peas in a heatproof bowl and pour over enough just-boiled water to cover. Leave for a minute, then drain the peas in a sieve and tip them back into the bowl. Crumble the feta cheese on top, sprinkle over the mint, and season with lots of freshly ground black pepper.
• Break the eggs into another bowl and beat them with a large metal whisk. Season with a little salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Brush a small non-stick frying pan with just enough oil to lightly coat the base and place it over a medium heat.
• Pour the eggs into the frying pan. As the eggs begin to set, use a wooden spoon to draw the cooked egg towards the centre. Do this 5 or 6 times, working your way around the pan. As the cooked egg is moved, the uncooked egg will run into the gaps and begin to cook.
• Scatter the peas and feta over the omelette and cook for another 3 minutes or until the eggs are just set. Carefully loosen the sides with a heatproof palette knife and slide the omelette on to a warmed plate, folding it as you do so. Serve with a large, lightly dressed salad.
