These beautiful stuffed eggs are perfect as antipasti or as a main and you can prepare them in advance and let them rest in the fridge. Try them, such an easy recipe yet so tasty!

Mamma Flora’s Tip: Get creative and make your favourite variation, add some capers for extra flavour or chives or maybe some chili. Leftover stuffed eggs can be kept refrigerated for several days
