[@Mattbcc1]

We call it stuffed eggs or devilled eggs (when sprinkled with cayenne) in the UK. You’ll find it on the buffet table at a party… the difference is that you mix the yolk with mayo and stuff it back into the egg white. I’ve had Oeuf Mayo in Paris many times but prefer our version truthfully… it’s more homogenous. The textures don’t clash. I find mayo on top of yolk a weird texture. Any version is great though!

[@ThomasL]

Mostly in France that's the same about eating this dish during easter (I'm French), but it's not called "Oeuf Mayonnaise" like his video, it's "Oeuf Mimosa", it's litterally the same, except the fact you remove the egg yalk and mix it with Mayonaise, and then, you fill the hole the egg yalk left by removing it with the "Mimosa Mix". And for me it's light years better than this classic "Oeuf Mayonnaise". And I'm litterally fed up that in videos like this, they only use the Paris word analogy to say France. Because France is not restricted to this aweful city populated by 10 milion stressed arrogant souls, honestly. (Exagerating, obviously, but there's a part of truth in it.). I'm living in what Parisians call "Province", litterally the word they use to name the remaining France territory except Paris. How arrogant is that.

[@Sirsandwich1975]

Don’t knock it until you try it. It’s the mustard that makes it what it is. When I went to Paris I thought it was weird, but it’s so simple , and delicious . The texture of the hard boiled egg with the richness and acidity of a well seasoned mayonnaise with really good quality Dijon mustard in it is so delicious. The Dijon mustard and vinegar is what makes the contrast of flavours so appetizing.

[@skrattzerat5831]

Absolutely correct, people hate mayonnaise because of the absence of quality Dijon in it.

[@matt-e]

This. And I would add that a sign for a good mayo is its color. The more yellow it is, the better it will be (because of the mustard). Compared to white mayo, with a little or none mustard.

[@thejackoss]

For a very long time I couldn't understand why mayonnaise was mocked in the UK or USA as being bland, and then I realized that's because they don't put Dijon mustard (or any mustard actually) in theirs. What a bunch of fools. Proper mayonnaise is the best sauce in the world.

[@Laugh1ngboy]

We call them deviled eggs.

[@darnellnepia1629]

You can also make mayo with or without the yoke. With the yoke is a more creamier texture/richness think Kewpie vs. store bought white mayo

Hi Alex, I was a chef in Norway for almost 10 years. Eggs and mayo is a typical appetizer here as well. You learn it in culinary school. Make sense I guess, as the schools are highly influenced by french cuisine. However the eggs are a little outdated now in Norway. Was popular in the 80-90's

[@fortissimolaud]

I ate at Le Bouillon Pigalle (2019 oeuf mayo world champion) when I visited Paris and I couldn't believe something so simple could be so good. It was in 2 things: 1) they didn't overcook the egg, there was flakiness/crumbliness but still some life left, and 2) a house-made custom mayo. Amazing.

In the US (Southern states in particular), we have devilled eggs as well. Typically we have more ingredients than what Alex seems to be indicating here. Usually there is an additional squirt of mustard or pickle juice in the yolk mixture down here plus a sprinkle of Hungarian smoked paprika over the finished deviled egg for a little color and smoke flavor.

This is classic in Poland, pretty much always eaten during easter and quite often it's on table during old school family gatherings or eaten during lent days.

Ughh, i would love to try this with real good homemade mayo!! Swedish people do a pimped version of this egg with mayo! red onion, dill, fish roe, shrimp, salt and pepper and it's craaaazy good. You should try :)

As someone who loves eggs and mayo this is food heaven to me. ❤

[@AuntieHauntieGames]

Simple dishes drive exquisite choices, a person needs to make their version stand apart from the rest without complicating the recipe. Love food like this.

We eat this in northern Germany at family occasions as an appetizer or snack, always loved them

In the Netherlands we do something similar called filled eggs where we mix the mayo and some herbs with the yokes and put it back in the shell of egg white.

Hi Alex, I am a big fan of yours! I have learned to cook a couple of things from you and I need to thank you for that! I am in Paris these days, with my wife, and would like to know if we could meet you somewhere just to say hi! Regards, Alex

"Deviled Egg" is the closest to what you're describing. They were common amongst old people for Church Potlucks in the USA. Usually, jared mayo (or more often "Miracle Whip" ("it's a miracle any whip can be this bad...")), with the hard boiled egg yoke mashed in, with paprika or other spices.

Would love the recipe for the celeriac salad!

Egg mayonnaise was very popular in the United Kingdom in the 1970s 80s and early 90s. In hotels and restaurants. The alternative was eggs harlequin. One half coated in mayo the other half coated in Marie rose sauce. This was a starter dish and very popular. When done correctly absolutely delicious.

In Sweden we put a shrimp and dill on our egg mayo. Very popular for Christmas, Easter and Midsummer

We make this in spain: “Huevos rellenos”, half boiled egg with a mix of mayo and canned tuna on top, sometimes we put of the yolk so we can stuff more the half egg and then sprinkle fine choped yolk on top of the mayo and tuna mixture

The timer was missing from this sponsors segment. The timer is just great as it makes absolutely clear what part of the video is sponsored and what is not. It should be a mandatory requirement by KZbin to at last have a watermark somewhere making this clear. Please put it back. You have always handled this so well in the past. .... and on a positive note.... the list of restaurants I want to visit in Paris just keeps growing.

[@resurgam_b7]

Ack! This was just an appetizer video! I'm hungry for more! I was smart this time, fixed food before starting an Alex video 😂

When I lived in Paris I saw it on a menu and thought reallly eggs and mayo. I tried it because I was curious and it was excellent.

Oh i love filled eggs(americans call them deviled eggs) , around here(not France :D ) the standard recipe is : Boiled eggs Thake the yolk from the eggs and mix it with Pate ( what type you like) some mustard and a bit o mayo . Refill the egg halfs with the mix and top it with mayo. From here every household has its own variation , some use hot paprika in the mixture ( yum) some add some finely chopped pickled cucumbers ( brine ones) inside the mix. Some use the most basic yolk + mayo filling and thats it. Pro tip if you feel the mayo and the mix is to heavy for your stomach , add a generous ammount of lemon juice in the mayo.
