Insider Tips

  • For easy peel hard-boiled eggs, try this method.
  • Alternatively, after letting lemon juice and garlic sit, combine egg yolk, anchovy, Worcestershire sauce and pulse to combine. Then stream in olive oil.
  • When separating egg white from yolk, use three-bowl method, one bowl to crack over, one bowl for whites, and one for yolks. For this recipe, crack egg yolk into a separate bowl before attempting to add into lemon juice and garlic.
  • To eliminate risk and ensure food safety, use egg yolk from pasteurized shell egg, or adapt recipe to add a cooking step for the egg yolk with these: https://incredibleegg.wpengine.com/egg-nutrition/safe-food-handling-tips/#8.
