Eggs Mimosa (Œufs Mimosa)

Œufs mimosa are a French bistro classic: hard-boiled eggs filled with a seasoned yolk and mayonnaise mixture, finished with sieved yolk that looks like the yellow mimosa flower.

Key points

  • Cook the eggs so the yolks are fully set but not grey at the edges.
  • Cool the eggs in cold water before peeling.
  • Mix the yolks with mayonnaise and seasoning until smooth, then pipe or spoon into the whites.
  • Finish with yolk pushed through a fine sieve and chopped herbs.
