Creme fraiche and celery salt take this classic, from pastry chef Sarah Kosikowski, from predictable to inspired.

MAKES 24 SERVINGS

12 hard-boiled eggs, cut lengthwise

1/4 cup creme fraiche

 1/2 cup mayonnaise

4 teaspoons Dijon or brown mustard

2 tablespoons cornichons, finely chopped

 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh chives (reserve tips for garnish)

 1/4 teaspoon celery seeds, finely ground

 1/4 teaspoon celery salt

 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, finely ground

Hungarian paprika

Scoop cooked egg yolks into a bowl. Add creme fraiche and mayonnaise. Using a fork, break up yolks and mix until creamy (some lumps will remain). Add mustard, cornichons, chives and celery seed; mix to combine. Season to taste with celery salt and white pepper.

Spoon or pipe mixture into cooked egg white halves (if the consistency is too firm, adjust with additional creme fraiche). Garnish with chive tips and sprinkle with Hungarian paprika.
