Oeuf Mayonnaise

This is one of the most classic and simple starter of French cuisine.  If you don't have anything in your fridge, but the eggs, you can make this.  Also you can find this menu at most of Brasseries.

This is just boiled eggs with sauce mayonnaise, so you cannot use already made mayonnaise but to make one yourself.  This is super easy dish but you can also make it amazingly good with your technique.  The relationship between egg and the mayonnaise sauce is very interesting.  When I had amazing "Oeuf Mayonnaise" for the first time, I realized the greatness of French cuisine.  It was almost shocking.

My ingredients of the sauce mayonnaise are, one egg yolk, dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, vegetable oil.  The key to the success of the sauce is to bring the egg yolk to the room temperature.

「卵マヨネーズ」これは「こんなのあり？！」と思うくらいシンプルな前菜。クラシックな料理で大体どのブラッセリーにもあるメニュー。卵しか冷蔵庫にない時でも出来る。もちろんマヨエーズを手作りしなけばいけないが、マヨネーズと卵の関係を新ためて感じることが出来るシンプルかつ、深い料理だと思う。これは技によってはものすごく美味しくなる。本当に美味しい「ウフ・マヨネーズ」を食べた時、フランス料理の偉大さを感じた。

私のマヨネーズは卵の黄身、ディジョンマスタード、酢、塩こしょう、サラダオイルを使用したもの。卵は人肌に温めておくのがコツ。
