- Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer for 14 minutes.
- Drain the eggs and transfer to a bowl of ice water.
- Let cool completely, then remove the shells.
- Cut a thin slice from the rounded ends so the eggs can stand upright.

- Season with salt and white pepper.
- Spoon the filling into a sturdy resealable plastic bag and squeeze it into 1 corner.
- Then, using scissors, snip 1/2 inch from the corner of the bag and pipe the filling into the egg whites.

- Season with salt and white pepper.
- Arrange the sliced sturgeon on 12 chilled salad plates.
