Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons french mustard
• 1 pinch salt, to taste
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Recipe

• 1 lower the eggs into a saucepan of gently boiling water to which a good pinch of salt has been added.
• 2 cook gently for 10-12 minutes.
• 3 stir the eggs for the first 8 minutes so that the yolks will be centered.
• 4 remove from the heat and plunge immediately into cold water.
• 5 when the eggs are completely cold shell them and cut in half lengthwise, using a stainless steel knife (other metals will discolour the eggs).
• 6 remove the yolks carefully and push through a sieve (or mash well with a fork).
• 7 mix the remaining ingredients.
