Sanne: Who doesn’t like deviled eggs? After hiding in the shadows for some time, deviled eggs are back with a bang, and I am cheering on the sideline. This is one of the snacks that I just never get tired of.
My deviled eggs recipe with anchovy and tapenade is an adaptation of a recipe I got from Rebecca from Spread-mmms. I love anchovy and how it enhances the flavors of the tapenade, but if anchovy isn’t your thing, you can leave it out. In that case, you might want to add a pinch of salt and maybe a few drops of lemon juice to balance the flavors. I am using the Spread-mmms Olive Tapenade for this recipe, but any good quality tapenade will do. The deviled eggs are delicious served with the Rye + Sea Salt Nordic Crisps from Hungry Bird Eats.
Tip: To avoid an unappetizing green ring to form around the yolk, make sure you don’t boil your eggs for too long and cool the eggs quickly after cooking.

Ingredients
4 4 hard boiled eggs
8 8 anchovies (4 for the yolk mixture, 4 for decoration)
4 tablespoons 4 mayonnaise
2 tablespoons 2 olive tapenade
Directions
- Boil the eggs. After boiling the eggs, let them cool off in cold water (makes them easier to peel).
- Peel the hardboiled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully and place them in a bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they turn into a finely crumbled mass. Add tapenade, anchovies and mayonnaise, and mix it all together to a smooth mixture.
- Scoop the yolk-mixture back into the holes in the egg whites. Decorate the eggs with a tiny dab of tapenade and a bit of anchovy.
