Egg mayonnaise
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 7 minutes
Ingredients
8 large British Lion Eggs
4 tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 baby gem lettuce leaves
A dusting of paprika to garnish
Crusty bread to serve, if wanted
Method
- Place the eggs in a medium pan of cold water. Place on the hob and slowly bring to the boil. When boiling simmer for 7 minutes.
- Drain the eggs, rinse in cold water and tap the shells all over, leave to cool. When cold peel away the shells. Roughly chop two of the eggs and mix with the mayonnaise, chives and seasoning.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate and heap the egg mayonnaise on top, dust with paprika. Serve with crusty bread if liked.
Tip: Use as a classic sandwich filling or serve heaped into lettuce ‘cups’ for a buffet idea.
