Devilled Eggs

Method

1. 1
   Lower the 8 eggs into boiling water and cook for 10 minutes. Immediately plunge into cold water, peel and cut in half lengthways. Remove the yolks and set aside in a bowl.

   💡 The why

   Cold water stops the cooking and prevents the greenish ring around the yolk. Let them cool fully before peeling.
2. 2
   In a bowl, mix the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice. Add the sunflower oil in a very thin stream, whisking vigorously until the mayo is thick and firm.

   💡 The why

   The oil must go in very slowly at the start. Too fast and the mayo splits.
