Notes
What are mouillettes? Mouillettes are little fingers of toasted bread, a small set of edible cutlery with which to stir, mop and thoroughly enjoy the inside of your boiled egg.
Mouillettes are traditionally spread with butter (preferably salted), but the concept is more than open to variations, and you should absolutely feel free to dress your mouillettes as you like.
Cooking Tips for Boiled Eggs VIP
- Use Fresh, Organic Eggs: Fresh, organic eggs bring out the best flavor and texture in this dish.
- Perfect Soft-Boiled Eggs: Boil eggs for 3 to 3.5 minutes for the ideal soft-boiled texture. This short time yields a creamy yolk perfect for pairing with caviar or roe.
- Mixing Chive Cream: When combining sour cream, milk, and chives, make sure they’re well-mixed and seasoned before adding the vodka. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with Buttery Mouillettes: Spread salted butter on baguette slices (mouillettes) to add richness and balance to the dish. Crispy mouillettes are perfect for dipping!
- Prep Caviar Last Minute: To maintain freshness, add caviar or roe just before serving, so it remains chilled and retains its delicate texture.
- Presentation Matters: Serve each egg in an eggcup, with a small spoon for the chive cream and a teaspoon for caviar to elevate the dish’s look and experience.
