Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 4 g mustard
  • 4 g white vinegar
  • 110 ml oil
  • 0.5 carrot
  • Black peppercorns
  • Water

Method

  1. Weigh out the oil for the mayonnaise and set it aside.
  2. Boil the eggs in a pot of water for 10–12 minutes. Once cooked, place them in cold water to cool, then peel them.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 1 raw egg yolk, mustard, and vinegar. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking until it thickens into mayonnaise.
  4. Cut about a third off the top of each boiled egg. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl and mash them with a fork. Add some of the mayonnaise and mix until smooth.
  5. Spoon or pipe the mixture back into the egg whites. Put the tops back on if you like.
  6. Peel a carrot and cut it into rounds. Cut out tiny beaks and feet. Add them to the eggs.
  7. Use black peppercorns for the eyes. Serve.
