Makes 24 stuffed eggs.

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 hard-boiled large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
  • 2 ounces black caviar

    DIRECTIONS

    Cut a paper-thin slice off the ends of each egg and halve the eggs crosswise. Force the yolks through a sieve into a bowl and stir in the mayonnaise, the sour cream, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large decorative tip and pipe it into the egg whites, mounding it. The stuffed eggs may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Just before serving, top the eggs with the caviar.
