Preparation

How to prepare Colored Stuffed Eggs

To prepare the colored stuffed eggs, first make the purees. Chop the cabbage 1, immerse it in salted boiling water 2 and let it cook for about 30 minutes 3.

Then drain it and blend it with an immersion blender to obtain a puree 4. Divide the puree into 2 bowls, and in one, add a bit of baking soda to make the color more blue 5. Mix well 6.

To create the pink color, dice the beetroot in a bowl 7; add a little water 8 and blend with an immersion blender to obtain a puree 9. Add more water if necessary.

Then move on to the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water 10. Turn on the heat and count 9 minutes from the first boil. Keep the flame low to avoid breaking the eggs, then gently drain and cool them in cold water. Tap the shell at the small air chamber at the base and peel them very gently 11. Try not to break the eggs; it's important that they remain smooth. Retrieve the 3 purees.

Immerse the eggs inside 13, so they are completely covered by the puree. Cover with plastic wrap 14 and store in the refrigerator overnight. Then remove the eggs from the puree 14 and rinse them quickly 15.

As you go, place the eggs on a tray 16, without placing them too close together. Keep in mind that they will still release some color. Halve the eggs 17, scoop out the yolk with a spoon and transfer them to a bowl 18.

Salt, pepper, and add the cream cheese 19. Pour in the oil 20 and mix well with a whisk 21.

Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag with a star nozzle and stuff your colored stuffed eggs 22. Garnish with fennel sprigs 23 and add another pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil 24.

Storage

It is recommended to consume the colored stuffed eggs within 24 hours.

Tip

The leftover filling is great to spread on canapés and slices of bread!

Peel the eggs very delicately and without haste: cooling them in water and finding the right point where the membrane is will make it easier.

Even with cabbage, you can obtain a pink color, just add some lemon juice instead of baking soda.

You can also use just the cabbage cooking water, but in this way, the color will be more intense.
