Aspic is a clear, savory jelly, traditionally made with a clarified meat / fish broth, sometimes with added gelatine, flavoured with spices, herbs, peppercorns and vegetables. It is rich in amino acids and minerals. This colourful, fun and make-ahead aspic jelly appetizer looks great on a festive holiday table at Easter, Christmas or any brunch buffet. These aspic jelly eggs are made of homemade beef broth, ham, bell peppers and sweetcorn and not only look appetizing, they also taste super delicious.

- Prick the round side of the raw eggs with a needle and make a small opening. Let the egg flow out of the shell and rinse the inside of the shell well. Use the eggs to make omelette, cakes or brioche.
- Whisk the powdered gelatin in 150 ml beef broth in a small saucepan. Set aside for 15 minutes or until spongy. Warm the gelatin in the saucepan over low heat until dissolved. Then stir in the remaining 250 ml broth.
- Cut the peppers and ham into small cubes. Roughly chop the parsley.
- Put some ham, parsley, peppers and sweetcorn in each egg shell. Don't fill the shell too full so that there is still room for the broth. Carefully pour the broth into the egg shells. Shake gently to mix the ingredients.
- Place the filled eggshells in an egg carton with the hole facing up. Chill the jelly eggs in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. Peel the aspic jelly eggs and enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this interesting recipe for aspic jelly eggs! I never would have thought to use eggs as a vessel for savory jelly, but it sounds like a fun and unique appetizer to serve at a holiday brunch or gathering. The combination of homemade beef broth, ham, peppers, and sweetcorn sounds delicious. I can't wait to give it a try!
