Polish Stuffed Eggs, or jajka faszerowany (YI-kah fah-sheh-rraw-VAH-nih), are also known as deviled eggs. The filling is made with ham, cheese, sour cream and mustard. What sets them apart is the broiled polonaise-style buttered bread crumb topping.
This makes a great appetizer course or light lunch with a crisp salad and crusty bread.
