: I have an apprentice who attended le cordon blue and was taught to make mayo with cooked yolks (everytime he makes it though it breaks so I havn't seen one yet) I attended CIA I was not taught thi so is it fisible can you make mayo with hard boiled egg yolks?

Chef Gregg,
Mayonnaise type sauces have been made with hardboiled egg yolks since classical times. The flavor of egg is somewhat more pronounced than using raw yolks.
I am certain this wasn't done because of concern about salmonella, however, this is our concern nowadays.
The solution to this is not using hardboiled yolks but, as Chef Pierre already pointed out, using pasteurized yolks instead.
The labor involved by using hardboiled yolks would not justify the results.
Following are some modernized versions of Escoffiers recipes.
