Ingredients

  • 8 hard-cooked eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh marjoram leaves
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped ripe olives
  • 8 pitted ripe olives
  • Fresh parsley or marjoram sprigs or leaves, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Cut peeled eggs lengthwise in half with rippled vegetable cutter or sharp knife. Carefully remove yolks and place in small bowl; mash with fork. Reserve egg white halves.
  • 2
    Mix mashed yolks, mayonnaise, chopped herbs, garlic pepper and chopped olives. Carefully spoon mixture into egg white halves, mounding lightly. Cut whole pitted olives into slices; top each egg half with olive slices. Garnish with small herb sprig or leaves.

  • Go ahead and substitute basil for the parsley or marjoram if you like.
  • Don't be tempted to use Kalamata or other specialty olives in this recipe because the flavor would be too strong. The ripe olives are mild enough to add just a pleasant olive flavor without overpowering the egg flavor.
  • Prepare the stuffed eggs up to 24 hours in advance. Refrigerate in a tightly covered container until serving time.
  • Instead of an olive slice, top each egg half with a cherry tomato wedge.
