Ingredients
  

Mayo:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup olive oil

Hard Boiled Eggs:

  • 12 large eggs
  • Splash white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda optional

Filling:

  • ½ cup mayo half of the above recipe
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Paprika as garnish
  • Fresh dill weed to garnish optional

Instructions
 

Make Mayo:

  • Add the egg, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to bowl or tall jar and pour oil on top and use immersion blender, keeping blender flat for 20-30 seconds.
  • Start slowly lifting until all oil is incorporated and mayo is fluffy.
  • Taste mayo for seasoning then add salt, lemon juice, or extra vinegar to taste for extra bite if desired.
  • Or use a food processor:
  • Use the small bowl of processor or a blender for emulsion to work. Mix all ingredients minus oil for 20 seconds. Slowly drizzle, adding oil a bit at a time and blending until all oil is added.
  • Once your mayo is done, set aside covered and refrigerate.

Boil Eggs:

  • Carefully place eggs in a large pot of cold salted water, add a splash of vinegar to help prevent cracking, and a teaspoon of baking soda to help with peeling
  • Bring to a slow boil on medium heat. Remove from heat and cover for 12-15 minutes.
  • Get a large bowl of iced water ready to receive the hard-boiled eggs.
  • With a large spoon carefully add eggs to ice water to cool them off and help with peeling.

Fill Eggs:

  • Carefully slice eggs in half lengthwise and pop out the yolks and add to a large bowl. Set whites in a tray to stay upright.
  • Add the mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks and mash together with a fork until well mixed.
  • Add salt, lemon juice, or extra vinegar to taste for extra flavour.
  • Spoon each egg half with mixture and garnish with paprika, chives, or dill weed.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • You will only need half of the mayo made, so store unused mayo in fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight jar.
  • You can stir in crumbled bacon or use as a garnish.
  • Chopped sweet pickles, green olives, or smoked salmon are also great options.
