Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs in boiling water for 9.5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Move the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggs, halve them lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a bowl.
  4. Press the yolks through a strainer set over a bowl, then scrape the mixture from under the strainer into the bowl.
  5. Add salt, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, minced garlic, diced ham, minced chili (optional), chives, 1 tablespoon crème fraîche or sour cream, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, a dash of hot sauce and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pipe the filling into the egg white halves, starting at the centre and working outwards. Chill while you make the prosciutto chips.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Put a slice of prosciutto between two sheets of parchment, cover with a second baking sheet, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  8. Turn off the oven, remove the top sheet and leave the prosciutto in the oven for another 10 minutes to crisp.
  9. Top each egg with a prosciutto chip and extra chives, chill briefly, then serve.
