"Never drown the eggs! Mayonnaise should coat, not submerge. Add your condiments slowly—you can always add more, but you cannot un-mayo an egg."

Chef's Notes
Listen closely, because greatness is in the details! When you boil your eggs, never rush the cooling process in ice water—it stops the cooking instantly and prevents that tragic grey-green sulfur ring around the yolk.
Pro Tip
Want to elevate this from a humble snack to a majestic banquet offering? Chill your mixing bowl in the refrigerator for ten minutes before assembling. Cold tools keep the fats in the mayonnaise stable, ensuring a richer mouthfeel.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware the slippery tragedy! If you skip drying your boiled eggs with a towel, your whisk will act like a hockey puck on ice, sending a slimy, hard-boiled egg flying across your spotless kitchen and straight onto your cat.

The Culinary Science
Did you know? As eggs cook, sulfur in the whites reacts with iron in the yolk. By plunging them into cold water immediately, you halt this chemical reaction and keep your yolks a brilliant, vibrant yellow.
