Oeufs Mayonnaise
Jammy eggs with sharp Dijon mayonnaise, crisp lettuce, and fresh herbs in bistro style.
Ingredients
- 5 pcs Eggs
- 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 pcs Egg Yolk
- 150 ml Sunflower Oil
- 1 tsp White Wine Vinegar
- 0.75 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.25 tsp White Pepper
- 1 pcs Little Gem Lettuce
- 6 pcs Chives
- 6 pcs Parsley
Method
- Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle boil over medium heat, lower in {eggs}, and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are firm yet still creamy. Lift out and cool quickly so the yolks stay tender and the shells peel cleanly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk {egg_yolk} with {dijon_mustard}, {white_wine_vinegar}, {kosher_salt}, and {white_pepper} until smooth, then stream in {sunflower_oil} slowly while whisking constantly to build a thick, glossy mayonnaise. Taste and adjust with a little more {kosher_salt} if needed.
- Separate and rinse {little_gem_lettuce}, then dry well so the leaves stay crisp. Finely slice {chives} and finely chop {parsley} for a fresh finish.
- Crack and peel the cooled {eggs}, then halve them neatly lengthwise for a clean bistro presentation.
- Arrange {little_gem_lettuce} on chilled plates, nestle in the halved {eggs}, and spoon or pipe over the {mix_mayonnaise} output generously. Finish with {chives}, {parsley}, and a final light pinch of {kosher_salt} for brightness and contrast.
