For perfect hard boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot with cold water and gently bring to a boil. When the water boils, cover the pot, turn off the heat and let stand for exactly 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, drain the hot water and rinse with icy cold water for a minute to stop the cooking and prevent a grey ring from forming around the yolk.
4 eggs
When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel them and chop them coarsely.
Prepare a dressing by combining 1 cup homemade mayonnaise with the tarragon, chives and chevril. Season the dressing to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
