Ingredients

The Spread Base

  • 5 Large eggs, hard-boiled, cooled, and peeled
  • 80 g Unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 45 g Quality mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp Fresh chives or scallion greens, finely snipped
  • 4 g Fine sea salt
  • 1 g Freshly cracked black pepper

To Serve

  • Fresh crusty sourdough, rye bread, or Tradičné Rožky.
  • Sliced radishes and extra snipped chives.

Method

  1. Prep the Eggs: Slice the peeled hard-boiled eggs in half and separate the yolks from the whites.
  2. Whip the Base: Place the cooked egg yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Add the softened room-temperature butter and mayonnaise. Mash and whip vigorously with a fork or hand whisk until creamy, pale, and completely smooth.
  3. Grate the Whites: Coarsely grate the egg whites on a box grater (or finely mince them with a chef's knife).
  4. Combine & Season: Fold the grated egg whites, Dijon mustard, snipped chives, fine sea salt, and black pepper into the whipped yolk base. Stir gently until evenly incorporated.
  5. Rest & Serve: Let the spread sit at room temperature for 10 minutes (or chill briefly) so the flavors meld. Slather generously on thick slices of fresh bread or halved rožky.
Chef's Tip: Whipping the yolks directly with room-temperature butter and mayonnaise—without using any sour cream—creates a rich, velvety emulsion that clings perfectly to bread without turning watery. It's the exact childhood recipe that makes it effortless to finish an entire fresh loaf in one sitting.
