Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Beim Schälen der Eier hilft es, sie nach dem Kochen in kaltem Wasser auskühlen zu lassen – das macht das Schälen leichter. Für eine besonders cremige Füllung die Zutaten gründlich mit einer Gabel oder einem kleinen Handmixer vermengen. Wer möchte, kann die Füllung elegant mit einem Spritzbeutel in die Eiweißhälften geben.
Varianten und Anpassungen
Für eine leichtere Variante lässt sich der Bacon durch knusprig gebratenen Putenbacon ersetzen. Wer es würziger mag, kann einen Hauch geräuchertes Paprikapulver oder einen Spritzer Hot Sauce zur Füllung geben. Schnittlauch sorgt optional für eine frische Kräuternote.
