The eggs are typically boiled until the yolks are firm, then halved or sliced and arranged on a plate with a dollop of mayonnaise on top. Sometimes, the mayonnaise is seasoned with herbs, mustard, or other flavorings to enhance the dish. It’s a popular and satisfying dish, especially for those who appreciate the combination of creamy mayo and tender egg.

This video is sponsored by better Help what’s up guys Sal this is Alex I am right now in Paris in my city today is your lucky day because you’re going to get to experience something that very few people outside of Paris can experience a dish that is deceptively simple F mayo or in English egg

Mayo how familiar are you with the concept of egg Mayo I mean I’m familiar with it but I just don’t understand why you would do a video on it she calls it a Mayan egg are you okay I don’t feel so good it’s like a sandwich that you get at a

Motorway service station you don’t have these egg Mayo as St in B in the UK no if I see an egg mail sandwich it’s at a child’s fifth birthday party it’s not at a restaurant my perception is oh the French their Gastronomy it’s Way Beyond ours and you’re telling me you want to

Do a video about chopped up egg in some mayonnaise it’s it’s not chopped up it’s a different concept do you value Ramen eggs yes do you consider that making a Mayo is is a demonstration of technique yeah I would agree with that then Mayo with a Ramen egg that’s exactly of mayo

In France okay I’m sold but this is the thing I think you need to explain that when you say egg Mayo what you’re talking about as far as I’m aware it doesn’t exist outside of Paris let’s do it then in its most simple form of Mayor

Egg Mayo is just a boiled egg cut in half and covered with mayonnaise I’m a big big fan for three reasons number one I’ve got a personal relationship with mayo it is a French mother source I mean technically it wasn’t a few years ago but I placed it back on the map

Rewriting a Wikipedia article in the mother sources series you’re welcome number two I just love eggs in general they’re just the most versatile ingredient in the kitchen number three I love deceptively simple dishes it’s the same for a neapolitan pizza or Japanese sushi with the dish that simple you

Cannot mask your mistakes so let’s go and experience the real of mayo the place we’re going to is called La Grand brass and it’s right There okay and now a quick words from our sponsor Better Health now it’s a new year and it’s a great time to be working on yourself my personal goals for 2024 first I want to get back on good sleeping habits and second I want to prioritize some quality time with my

Off your first month of better help so you can connect with a therapist and see if it helps you thanks a better help for sponsoring this Video I love this Place best job Ever there is something I’m really excited to see it’s the difference between the egg Mayo that I do which is just an egg with a bit of mayo on on it and this one cuz they are the world champion of the egg [Applause] Mayo Wow I’m excited and I’m hungry as well they are definitely preparing the egg right now in the Kitchen Everything is stunning on this One W oh way softer than I thought it would be I was expecting a bit of Bounce from the white nothing I mean look how creamy the yolk is it’s darker it’s moisture it’s not like the the pale yellow with the bit of green that you sometimes see on completely overcooked

Eggs no this is just on the brim of being well done it’s just just below that and then there’s the white the white is often something that people Overlook but it has a lot of importance if you cook it for too long then it becomes rubbery on my first bite let me

Catch a bit of everything bit of egg a bit of mayo and a bit of celeriac salad underneath M solid solid they are paying a lot of attention to the cooking of the egg itself it’s not bounces it doesn’t resist to the teeth let me taste the mayonnaise sauce on its Own you can’t beat Mayo I really can’t get it when people don’t like Mayo it’s the best sauce ever on every aspect sometimes people add a bit more mustard or a bit more vinegar to have it a bit looser or to have a bit more kick in

That Mayo but here it’s not the case they kept a very rich very simple mayonnaise because they know that underneath they’ve got a Tangy kiky salad so it’s the combination that works I think it’s very easy to underestimate simple dishes an plus a bit of mayo on

It that sounds very simple maybe even simplistic when you bite into this when you have this dish you understand that there is so much more going on than just an egg and some mayo on It when they brought the dish in I saw the amount of mayo and I thought it’s a bit of mayo for me especially since I haven’t had breakfast before but now I’m getting getting to the end of that appetizer and I’m starting to feel some anxiety cuz I would love a bit more

Mayo like this piece doesn’t have Mayo on it what am I going to do what am I going to do let me mop that floor it’s the cheeky bite it’s the naughty bite that was Spectacular that’s pretty good actually in all honesty I’ve loved the version I was served in this restaurant and I think I Now understand why it’s been crowned world champion they have managed to create balance in a dish that is at the heart unbalanced here they’ve added a fresh Kiki and acidic celeriac salad

Underneath this little garnish creates balance this perfects the egg Mayo this makes it a dish now obviously tasting an egg like this questions me on the inside de Alex what do you have to say about the egg Mayo do you want to try it yourself I might I

Might I hope you enjoyed we catch up in the next one bye Set start it up oh
