  • In a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, anchovies, shallot, capers, lemon zest, mustard and a good grind of pepper. Stir in basil and parsley.

  • Peel shells from eggs. Halve eggs lengthwise; gently remove yolks and transfer to a plate. Mash yolks with the back of a fork; add yolks and 1 teaspoon water to herb mixture and gently combine. Spoon into eggs. Garnish with whole parsley leaves.

TIP

Don't try to pipe this chunky, herby filling. Italian salsa verde is a rustic condiment, and these eggs should look the part.
