Equipment

  • Saucepan for boiling eggs
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or fork for mixing
  • Knife for cutting eggs

Ingredients
  

  • Tuna (canned, drained)
  • Mayonnaise
  • Ketchup

Instructions
 

  • Boil the eggs. Place them in cold water and boil over low heat to prevent cracking.
  • Once boiled and cooled, peel the eggs, cut them in half, and carefully remove the yolks, setting them aside.
  • Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, tuna, and the reserved egg yolks (leave two yolks for decoration). Mix well to taste.
  • Fill each egg half with the tuna mixture.
  • Crumble the two reserved yolks and sprinkle them over the filled eggs for decoration.
  • Refrigerate the eggs, as they are best served cold. They are even more flavorful the next day.

Notes

  • Texture Variation: Blend the tuna mixture in a food processor until creamy for a smoother filling.
  • Additional Garnishes: Enhance the appearance with extra garnishes like chopped parsley, paprika, or a small slice of olive.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve on a bed of lettuce or mixed greens for an elegant presentation.
  • Non-Seafood Alternative: Replace tuna with chopped cooked chicken or ham for a different protein option.
