Eggs stuffed with herring and melted cheese

Eggs stuffed with “red caviar” from herring, carrots and melted cheese is a simple but incredibly tasty snack of herring and eggs, which even a child can cook. You can take a ready-made salted herring fillet and a jar of herring caviar for cooking, or buy a whole salty Pacific herring, asking the seller for fish with caviar.

Eggs stuffed with herring and melted cheese

In the old days, eggs stuffed with herring and melted cheese were often cooked on a festive table along with Russian salad, fur coat and mimosa. I remember how in childhood we rejoiced, if in the morning after the holiday feast in the fridge “red caviar” of herring remained. Honestly, a jar of ordinary caviar did not evoke such emotions!

If you get high-quality fat herring, then the taste of eggs stuffed with herring and melted cheese is very similar to the taste of salmon caviar - you can't tell with your eyes closed! For the festive table, I advise you to save some real red caviar to decorate this dish, it turns out beautifully, especially in combination with a green onion.
