How to prepare deviled eggs with ham easily and quickly
To make the deviled eggs with ham, first focus on preparing the hard-boiled eggs. I cooked them in an air fryer: place the eggs in the basket of the air fryer and cook them at 266°F for 15 minutes. Cool them by immersing them in cold water for 10 minutes. To get perfect hard-boiled eggs, it’s advisable to use eggs that are not very fresh, preferably laid a few days ago. If you don’t have an air fryer, proceed in the classic way. Immerse the eggs in a saucepan with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and count 10 minutes of cooking from the start of boiling. Once cooked, cool them immediately in cold water to facilitate shell removal. Divide the eggs in half, remove the yolks, and set aside. In a blender, put the cooked ham, cream cheese, and yolks.
Add salt and pepper and blend everything until you get a smooth and creamy mousse-like mixture.
Put the ham cream in a piping bag fitted with a star tip and fill the whites. Decorate with fresh parsley leaves and serve. Your deviled eggs with ham are ready to be enjoyed. Bon appétit!
Storage
Deviled eggs with ham can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days. It’s important to cover them adequately, for example, by placing them in an airtight container, to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods.
