PRESENTATION

Mayonnaise with hard-boiled eggs is like a French twist on your usual mayo. It really bumps it up a notch. Seriously good. You get this extra creamy texture, super easy to use on just about anything. This version’s thicker, with a more delicate flavor. Why? Because of those eggs blended right in. People love how it works as a base for an egg salad recipe or as a moist spread on sandwiches. It’s not your basic store-bought mayo—this homemade mayonnaise really really lets you taste the difference. When you want something richer and more tender, this is it.

And listen, whether you’re putting it next to cold meats, dipping veggies, or spooning it onto fish, it brings out those French vibes—pretty much. Folks use it at all kinds of gatherings like family buffets or quick lunches. Why? It’s so versatile and makes even basic dishes seem way way fancier without any stress.

In different regions of France, people might mix in a bit of mustard or fresh herbs to switch things up. Thing is, each version is just a bit different from the last. That's the cool part—mayonnaise with cooked eggs goes with so many things, and you can tweak it however you want. I mean, it’s kinda like how sauce gribiche shows up in French cooking, but this is smoother, really. Especially when you use a blender. You get a thick, rich base that’s awesome for a classic egg salad or an egg sandwich spread that actually sticks. And here's the deal, bringing homemade sauces to the table makes regular food feel a bit more special—it is awesome.

The flavor? Mild but still assertive, so it stands up to smoked salmon, roast beef, or just some boiled potatoes on the side. Once you try it, you might find yourself skipping the store-bought stuff for good. And the golden look and real taste make every bite that much better. Plus, you can whip it up in no time. Perfect for when you want something really good without the fuss. For sure.

How to prepare Mayonnaise with Hard-Boiled Eggs

To prepare mayonnaise with hard-boiled eggs, start by cooking the eggs. Place the eggs in a small pot 1 and cover them with plenty of water, put the pot on the stove, bring to a boil and cook the eggs for 9 minutes, counting the time from when it starts boiling 2. After the cooking time has passed, let the eggs cool at room temperature or, to speed it up, under running water. Gently tap the eggs to crack the shell 3.

At this point, gently remove the shell 4 from both eggs 5 and cut them in half 6.

Then place the eggs in the cup of an immersion blender, add the lemon juice 7, a pinch of salt 8, and a pinch of pepper 9.

Add the vegetable oil 10, then blend everything with the immersion blender 11 until you get a fluffy, soft, and uniform mixture 12.

The mayonnaise with hard-boiled eggs is ready; you can add a teaspoon of mustard to taste 13 or leave it plain, all that's left is to transfer it to a bowl 14 and serve it as you prefer 15.
