Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional gourmet additions:
- 1/4 teaspoon truffle oil
- 1 tablespoon fine quality caviar
- Flavored salts (e.g., smoked paprika salt, black truffle salt) for garnish
- Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by about one inch.
- Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Carefully peel the cooled eggs. Cut each egg in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop out the egg yolks into a small bowl. Place the egg white halves on a serving platter.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- If using, stir in truffle oil to the yolk mixture.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
- Garnish with caviar, flavored salts, and fresh chives as desired.
- Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old, not super fresh.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to achieve your desired creaminess.
- For piping, use a pastry bag with a star tip for a professional look.
- Experiment with different flavored salts to find your favorite combination.
