Use a fork to mash the eggs with the mayonnaise, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture is very thick, add cold water 1 teaspoon at a time until the consistency is right. Taste for seasoning; fill the whites with the yolk mixture. If not serving within an hour, refrigerate until ready to eat.

Egg Yolk

You may simply sprinkle the eggs with chopped chives and/or parsley or dust them with paprika. For extra flavor, you may mash into the yolk mixture chopped herbs, paprika, a tiny bit of pounded garlic, or chopped capers. My favorite combination is a tiny bit of garlic mixed into the yolk with minced chives sprinkled on top.

Put the yolk in a bowl with the lemon juice or vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Ingredients you will need

Lemon Juice

Vinegar

Salt

Egg Yolk

Equipment you will use

Bowl

Whisk well, until the salt has dissolved and the yolk has thickened a bit. Slowly dribble the olive oil into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. As yolk absorbs the oil, the sauce will thicken, lighten in color, and become opaque. Once this happens, you can begin to add the oil a little faster, in a thin but constant stream, whisking all the while. Taste and whisk in another dash of vinegar or lemon juice if it needs brightening.
