Difficulty People Time
Medium 4 18 minuti
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/2 slice of homemade bread
70 g mascarpone cheese Sterilgarda
3 Thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
to taste chives
to taste table salt
to taste black pepper
to taste extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
  1. Place the whole eggs in a saucepan filled with cold water, bring it to the boil and cook the eggs for 8 minutes.
  2. While the eggs are cooking, cut a slice from the loaf, divide it in half and cut it into small cubes.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick pan, add the bread cubes, season with pepper and thyme leaves and brown over low heat for a few minutes until the bread is golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Once the eggs are hard boiled, drain them and let them cool completely.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients for the filling: finely chop the chives, then pour the Sterilgarda Mascarpone into a bowl and add the grated fresh ginger.
  6. Shell the eggs carefully, then cut a small piece of white at the bottom end using a smooth-bladed knife; this way the eggs will have a stable base to rest on.
  7. Also cut the top of the egg and remove the yolk very delicately, taking care not to ruin the white part that you will use as a container.
  8. Add the egg yolks to the mascarpone and ginger mixture and mix thoroughly with a spoon, then add a pinch of salt and the chopped chives and mix again to obtain a smooth and uniform mixture.
  9. Transfer the egg yolk and mascarpone cream into a piping bag and fill the emptied eggs. Sprinkle the surface with the golden bread cubes, crumbling them slightly between your fingers.
  10. Garnish with a sprig of chives.
