What is Philippe Etchebest’s mimosa egg recipe?
• Begin by gently placing the eggs in a pan of boiling water. Count 9 to 10 minutes of cooking from boiling: either 9 minutes for slightly creamy eggs, or 10 minutes for well-cooked eggs, explains Philippe Etchebest. Once the time has elapsed, dip the eggs in a bowl filled with cold water to stop cooking.
• Then peel the eggs one by one. Once the shell has been removed, cut the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the egg yolk without damaging the white. Place all the egg yolks in a bowl.
• Chop the chives then chop the tarragon. You are free to incorporate other aromatic herbs into your mimosa eggs, explains Chef Etchebest at this stage of the recipe. Why not chopped capers, he suggests?
• Then pass the egg yolks through a sieve or strainer. If you don’t have either, simply mash the yolks with a fork.
• Still on the advice of the Chef, add the mayonnaise signed Philippe Etchebest to the egg yolks and add the fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
• As the Meilleur Ouvrier de France explains in his video 100% mimosa eggs, place the appliance in a fluted piping bag and garnish the egg whites one by one, generously. If you don’t have a piping bag, just use a spoon. Your typical French starter is ready: it’s time to enjoy your mimosa eggs!
