Stuffed eggs recipe with pesto, parmesan and balsamic vinegar
This simple tasty and delicious stuffed eggs recipe in my interpretation of one of my dad specialties: he was used to prepare the stuffed eggs on Sunday, and decorated to them as funny puppies to enjoy me and my brother when we were kids, and then did the same for my two sons.
So anytime I prepare the stuffed eggs, I remember of my father and his capability to engage with kids: he was truly special.
This recipe is very special during Easter, it can be prepared in a very easy way and the eggs can be kept in the refrigerator an entire day without losing freshness and taste. It is the perfect appetizer with the family for the Good Friday meal.
You can pair this dish with a white wine, maybe something from Sardinia (an island in Italy) like Vermentino DOC, or with some freshly squeezed juice loke pomegranade and peach! This two kind of very sweet beverages are perfectly in contract with the salty accent of the pesto!
