  • 1 piece Spring onion (finely minced)
  • 2 tbsp Chives (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
  • 3 pieces Eggs (hard-boiled, coarsely chopped)
  • 1 piece Egg yolk (for the mayonnaise)
  • 1 tbsp Whole-grain mustard (with seeds)
  • 150 ml Grape seed oil (neutral oil, to be added in a thin stream)
  • ½ lemon Lemon zest (finely grated zest)
  • 1 pinch Fleur de sel
  • 1 pinch Ground black pepper

Instructions

  3. Preparing homemade mayonnaise

Critical Success Points

  • Exact egg cooking (9 minutes) to achieve a fully cooked but not dry yolk.
  • Mayonnaise emulsion: add the oil in a very thin stream while whisking constantly.
  • Finely chop the inner endive leaves to avoid large pieces in the filling.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle boiling water carefully to avoid burns.
  • Hot oil can splatter during emulsification; whisk from a distance.
  • Use the knife carefully when cutting the endives.
