Most of the required products are always available in the supplies of every prudent housewife. This time in your home you should definitely find:
- 300 grams of good hard cheese.
- 3 sweet bell peppers.
- 3 cloves of garlic.
- 3 chicken eggs.
- Mayonnaise.
It is advisable to start preparing this snack by boiling the eggs. They are washed, filled with cold water and placed on the stove. The boiled eggs are cooled, shelled and put aside.
The cheese is grated and combined with chopped garlic. All this is seasoned with a small amount of mayonnaise and mixed well.
The peppers are washed from the top and seeds, and then filled with cheese and garlic filling. Carefully insert one boiled egg into the middle of each stuffed pod, being careful not to damage the food. The stuffed peppers are put in the refrigerator. After a couple of hours, they are cut into neat circles, the width of which is about one centimeter, placed on a beautiful flat dish lined with fresh lettuce leaves, and served to the table.
1. Boil the eggs. To do this, place them in a pan of cold water and add a little salt. It is necessary so that if the egg cracks, the protein will coagulate in salt water and the egg will remain intact.
Place the pan on the fire and boil. Reduce temperature and cook eggs for 7-10 minutes. If you overcook them, the yolk will have a blue tint. Afterwards, plunge the eggs into ice water to make them easier to peel. If the egg is boiled, it is difficult to peel, i.e. the protein sticks to the shell, which means it is very fresh. Although for this recipe the aesthetic appearance of a beautiful egg is not important, because... it will continue to be grated. What you actually do: peel the eggs and grate them.
2. Also grate the processed cheese. If it rubs badly, then keep it in the freezer for 15 minutes. It will harden a little and will be easier to work with.
3. Peel the garlic and pass through a press. You can vary its quantity to your own taste. If you like very spicy snacks, add a few extra cloves.
I recommend removing the core containing the selenium core from garlic, especially in the winter and spring. Since it has a bad effect on digestion and often causes heartburn, in addition, it is because of this that a persistent garlic odor remains from the mouth.
4. Pour mayonnaise over the food. Its quantity may vary depending on the method of serving the snack. If you make canapes from it or arrange it in the form of balls, then there should not be a lot of mayonnaise. Otherwise the snack will fall apart. If you serve it in a salad bowl, add the amount of mayonnaise to your taste. I also don’t recommend overdoing it if you’re serving it in baskets or tartlets. Otherwise, they will quickly get wet and lose their shape.
5. Mix the salad well. Taste, add salt and stir again. Add freshly chopped herbs if desired.
