Steps:
- Hardboil and shell the eggs. Cut the eggs in half (I keep a paper towel around to wipe the yolk off of the knife between cuts to make cutting easier). Place the yolks in a bowl and set the whites aside.
- Finely mince the shallot(s).
- Using a fork, crush the yolks until they are fine.
- Combine the yolks, shallot, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper and stir until smooth. I add the ingredients a little bit at a time and periodically taste to get the flavor to where I want it.
- Place the yolk mixture in a Ziplock bag. Cut a corner off the bag and pipe the yolk mixture onto the egg whites.
- Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

POLENTA WITH ASPARAGUS, PEAS AND MINT
Buttery polenta serves as a soft, savory bed for asparagus and peas in this verdant, vegetable-rich main course. Sautéed shallots add sweetness, while fresh mint lends brightness to a satisfying yet light meal. You can substitute any soft herbs for the mint or use a combination for the most complex flavor. And, if you're short on time, instant polenta will work in place of regular, too. Just follow the directions on the package to cook it.

Steps:
- If cooking polenta on stovetop: In a medium pot over high heat, combine 4 1/2 cups water, polenta and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how finely the polenta is ground (coarse-ground polenta takes longer).
- Alternatively, cook polenta in oven: Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium Dutch oven or other oven-safe pot over high heat, bring 4 1/2 cups water, polenta and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to thicken slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover pot and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then give the mixture a stir. If it looks dry, add another 1/2 cup water. Cover the pot once more, and continue to bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
- When polenta is thick and creamy, stir in 2 to 4 of the tablespoons butter (depending on how buttery you like it) and the Parmesan. Taste and add more Parmesan and salt, if needed.
- As the polenta cooks, prepare the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add shallots and sauté until tender and golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook for another minute or two, until fragrant and very lightly golden in spots. Add vermouth and cook until alcohol evaporates, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Stir in asparagus and peas, and cook until vegetables are glossy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add stock, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and a large pinch of salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens slightly, 2 to 8 minutes. (Thicker asparagus will take longer to soften.) Stir in the mint. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
- To serve, spoon polenta into bowls, top with vegetables and their sauce, and grind on lots of fresh pepper. Finish with shaved Parmesan.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Fresh peas and shallots are best, but you can also use frozen peas in a pinch.
- Don't overcook the eggs. You want them to be cooked through, but not rubbery. Cook them over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before eating.
Conclusion:
This savory egg dish is a quick and easy meal that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover peas and shallots. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
