Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped black truffle peelings
  • Chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    Put the eggs in a large pot and add enough water to cover by about 1 inch.
  2. 2
    Bring the pot to a boil (BTB), cover, then turn off the heat and let sit for 13 minutes EXACTLY!
  3. 3
    Drain the eggs and run them under cold water until cool; if youre not using them right away, put them in the fridge.
  4. 4
    Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise; remove the yolks.
  5. 5
    Put the yolks in a small bowl and mash them with a fork; add the mayonnaise, truffle oil, cayenne, and truffle peelings and whip until very light and fluffy.
  6. 6
    Use a disposable pastry bag (or just buy zip-top bags, fill them, and cut off one cornera very low-tech solution but my favorite kind!)
  7. 7
    to pipe the yolk mixture into the whites (or just spoon it in).
  8. 8
    Sprinkle with the chives to serve.
