Ingredients

  • 6 large fresh eggs
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Anchovy Mayonnaise (recipe follows)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 fresh egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 5 anchovy fillets
  • 1 1/2 cups canola oil
  • Kosher salt

Method

  • Put the eggs in a pot and cover them with at least 1/2 inch water.
  • Remove the eggs and bring the water to a soft boil.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath.
  • When the water reaches a boil, gently lower the eggs into the water with a strainer or slotted spoon and cook for exactly 7 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath.
  • When cool, shell the eggs (shelling under water might make it easier if the shells are hard to remove).
  • Halve the eggs and place on a platter.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over each half.
  • Place a dollop of the mayonnaise on each one, about 1 teaspoon.
  • Sprinkle parsley over the eggs and serve.
  • Place the egg yolk, water, mustard, lemon juice, and anchovy fillets in a food processor.
  • Pulse a few times to combine.
  • With the motor running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream.
  • Season to taste with salt.
