Ingredients for the mayonnaise (200 g):
Place egg yolks, mustard and oil (all ingredients should be at room temperature) in a mixing bowl. Add some salt. Place an immersion blender in the bottom of the beaker and turn it on. Repeatedly lift the stick very slightly from the ground and move it upwards in small steps until the ingredients combine and a creamy consistency is created.
Alternatively, you can put egg yolks, mustard and a little salt in a tall mug and mix. Then gradually add the oil in very small amounts. Season the finished mayonnaise with salt, lemon juice and a little sugar.
Ingredients for the salad (basic version):
Boil eggs hard for about 10 minutes, rinse and let cool. Put the yogurt and mayonnaise in a bowl and season with cucumber water, a little mustard, salt, pepper and sugar. Peel eggs and cut into small cubes. Also finely dice the cucumbers. Put both in the bowl and mix with the cream. Refine with additional spices and finely chopped herbs to taste.
For a Mediterranean version, chop capers, anchovy fillets and parsley and add to the salad. For a spicy salad, clean 1 pepper and cut the pulp into small cubes. Add to the salad with 1 tablespoon of tomato paste and hot paprika or chili powder and stir.
Egg salad with asparagus rolls on brown bread:
a few stalks of white asparagus a little vegetable oil a few slices of cooked ham brown bread
Peel the asparagus and cut off the ends. Brush a grill pan with a little vegetable oil and cook the asparagus in it for about 5-6 minutes. Lay out the ham slices and spread the egg salad on top. Place 1 asparagus spear in the middle of each, then roll up the ham. Cut into portions and serve on small slices of brown bread.
Egg salad with mushrooms:
Remove the stems of the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms on a baking sheet, brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 10 minutes. They should be cooked and juicy but retain their shape. Let the mushrooms cool, fill them with egg salad and garnish with chives.
