This is the version my family makes in Budapest. The original uses goose fat instead of butter. First, take the butter out of the fridge and let it soften to the required amount (do not boil it!). Hard-boil the eggs. Meanwhile, peel the onions and chop them very finely. Finely chop the parsley. Peel the eggs and chop them very finely. The pieces should be about 5 x 5 mm or smaller. Mix the onion and butter with the eggs, then add the remaining ingredients and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then refrigerate for a few hours, or preferably overnight. It tastes best with white bread.
