Hard-cooked Eggs In Mustard Sauce Recipe


Hard-Cooked Eggs In Mustard Sauce Recipe
I love Deviled Eggs, but this recipe takes things a bit beyond that. It works well as a first-course appetizer. ORIGINALLY FROM: Jacques Pepin, "Cooking with Claudine" cookbook.

Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • MUSTARD SAUCE:
  • 1 large clove garlic, peeled, crushed, and chopped (1 large tsp)
  • 1 TBSP Dijon-style mustard
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tsps wine vinegar
  • 3 TBSP canola or safflower oil
  • TO SERVE:
  • 8 lettuce leaves, rinsed and dried
  • 1 TBSP chopped fresh chives
  • Crusty French bread

Directions
  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Using a thumbtack or pushpin, make a small hole in the rounded end of each egg. Lower the eggs gently into the boiling water. Bring the water back to a very gentle boil, and cook the eggs for 8 to 9 minutes.
  2. Drain off the water, and shake the pan to crack the shells of the eggs. Then, add ice to the pan, and let the eggs cool completely.
  3. Meanwhile, make the mustard sauce: Combine all the sauce ingredients except the oil, in a bowl. Add the oil slowly, mixing with a whisk (or fork, vigourosly) as the oil is added. Set aside at room temperature until ready to use. Do not worry if the sauce separates.
  4. Shell the cooled eggs, and cut them in half lengthwise. The centers of the yolks should be slightly soft.
  5. Divide the lettuce leaves among 4 serving plates, and place 2 egg halves, cut-side-up on top of the lettuce on each plate.
  6. Coat the eggs with the mustard sauce, sprinkle with chives, and serve immediately with the Crusty French bread on the side.
