The New Year and Christmas table should not be modest and ascetic, I think. Therefore, every year I plan the menu in advance so that there is enough of everything: salads and main courses.
And I definitely think about appetizers: after all, they should be combined with the rest of the dishes, complement them, without taking attention to themselves, but only preparing, setting the guests up for a hearty and tasty feast.
One of my favorite snacks is deviled eggs. They are good because the filling can be very varied: meat, vegetable, mushroom, and, of course, fish, so there is always something to choose from. By the way, have you tried eggs stuffed with tuna?
It turns out very tasty and unusual. I think I'll make them for this New Year. Maybe you too?

It is best to use homemade eggs - for baking, for salads, and for stuffing, of course. The thing is that the yolk in farm eggs is much more beautiful and brighter than its counterpart from store-bought eggs. Therefore, dishes made from homemade eggs always turn out more appetizing. So keep this in mind when deciding where to buy your eggs.
Tuna is a very affordable canned product; you will find it on the shelves of even the smallest shops. Usually they are on sale in two types - whole piece or cut into small pieces (especially for salads). Which canned tuna you choose does not matter. A large piece of tuna can be easily broken into small pieces using a fork. This time I used canned tuna pieces, so I immediately mixed it with cucumbers for the filling - there was no need to break it up.

How to cook eggs stuffed with canned tuna
Preparing this dish is very simple and very quick.
To make deviled eggs you will need canned tuna. This can be tuna in oil or in its own juice. Use tuna that has already been shredded in a can, usually called "salad tuna." But if you don’t find one, take any jar, emptying half the contents (along with part of the juice), mash it into a puree-like mass. If there are any bones left, they need to be removed.
Pre-cook chicken eggs. To do this, put them in water, cook after the water boils for at least 10 minutes, but also do not hold for too long (so that the yolk does not get a bluish tint). Rinse boiled eggs with cold water and remove shells. Cut each egg into two parts.
Remove the yolks from the halves, place them in a separate plate, and grind with a fork until smooth.
Add tuna from a can (or prepared from a bowl) in parts, stir with a fork. To enhance the taste and add piquancy to the filling, add a pinch of smoked paprika and dry garlic. If you don't have these spices, substitute them with other aromatic, spicy spices to suit your taste. If desired, add mayonnaise or sour cream to the filling.
Mix the filling well. When you achieve a homogeneous mass, add chopped green onions, parsley or dill.
Fill the egg halves tightly with heaping filling.
Place the arugula on a plate and then arrange the deviled eggs (the arugula will give stability to your halves). Top the eggs with a pinch of paprika for brightness and a sprig of dill. A beautifully presented dish always evokes an appetite and a desire to try it; do not forget to devote time to this process.
