Make   -   (2-1/2 hr - 25 min work)
  1. Place EGGS in a saucepan with cold water to cover by about 1/2 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and let them sit covered until you can poke your finger into the water. Peel them under cold running water and chill them.
  2. Slice cold Eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks.
  3. Chop MUSHROOMS small. Chop SCALLIONS fine. Mix
  4. Heat Butter and fry Mushroom Mix until mushrooms giving up much of their moisture, but don't fry until too dry.
  5. Mash together Mushroom mix and Yolks until very even, then work in Salt, Pepper, Sour Cream and Mayonnaise. Check for seasoning to taste.
  6. Pack Stuffing into a pastry bag with a plain round nozzle and pipe it into egg halves. Garnish as desired (the photo specimens have dill and Hungarian paprika).
  7. If you need to hold the finished egs for awhile before serving, even overnight, see Note-2.
  8. Chill well in the refrigerator. Serve cold or cool.
NOTES:

  1. Mushrooms:

      Regular white mushrooms are presumed here, but in Ukraine they would likely be mixed with at last some wild mushrooms, if available.

  2. Holding Stuffed Eggs:

      Get a stack of 8 x 8 inch clear plastic clamshells with hinged lids from a restaurant supply (see Clamshell). I get them from Smart & Final. These will neatly hold 12 stuffed egg halves per clamshell - but they are so flimsy they invite disaster (trust me). Nest two clamshells. Arrange the eggs, then close and snap the lid of the inner clamshell. use scissors to cut off the lid of the outer clamshell (it won't snap securely). Refrigerate level.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
