Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • ½ cup (150g) whole egg-mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) malt vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) buttermilk
  • sea salt and cracked black pepper
  • 2 butter lettuces,(150g), leaves separated
  • 6-8 chives stalks

Method

Put the eggs into a sauce pan and cover with cold water.  Bring to a boil and cook for 8-9 minutes.  Cool completely in cold water and then peel the shell.  Remove the yolks from 4 of the eggs and set the whites aside.  

Cut the remaining eggs into quarters and set aside ready to plate.  In a bowl, mash the 4 egg yolks with a fork.  Add in the mayonnaise, vinegar and buttermilk and combine well to make the dressing.  Season with the salt and pepper.

Arrange the lettuce leaves on individual plates or be creative and use loaf pans to serve.  Top with egg quarters and place chives stalks over eggs.  Drizzle with dressing and serve.
