Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pound the freshly cooked hard-boiled egg yolks in a bowl and work them into a smooth paste. Add the mustard, a generous pinch of salt, and a good grinding of pepper.
  2. Mound the sauce with the oil and vinegar, proceeding as for a mayonnaise, building an emulsion as you go. Once emulsified, finish by folding in the minced cornichons and capers, the mixture of fresh herbs (parsley, chervil, and tarragon), and the hard-boiled egg whites cut into short julienne.
  3. This sauce is a customary accompaniment to cold fish.
