Yield Makes about 1 ½ cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 cups (48 ounces) water
2 tablespoons plus ½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 celery stalk
½ cup (4 ounces) white vinegar
4 large eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon aged red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon sliced fresh chives
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
  • Bring 6 cups water and 2 tablespoons salt to a boil in a deep saucepan over high heat. Add the peeled celery stalk to the boiled water, and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan, and plunge in the ice bath.
  • Remove the outer stringy layer of the celery with a vegetable peeler and discard.
  • Add the vinegar to the water, and return to a boil. Add the eggs to the pan, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pan, and plunge in the ice bath.
  • When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them and separate the whites from the yolks. Chop the egg whites to equal ½ cup, and reserve for Smoked Oysters on Toast if desired. Reserve the remaining whites for another use.
  • Combine the egg yolks, mayonnaise, Dijon, red wine vinegar, and hot sauce in a medium bowl.
  • Dice the celery and fold half into the egg yolk mixture. (Reserve the remaining celery for Smoked Oysters on Toast if desired.) Stir in the chives, black pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
