How to Make Tyrolean Bozner Sauce

  1. Hard-boil 2 large eggs until cooked through. Allow to cool completely.
  2. Peel the cooled hard-boiled eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks.
  3. Press the 2 egg yolks through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard to the yolks.
  5. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  6. With a whisk, slowly drizzle in 2/3 to 3/4 cup (160-180ml) of high-quality vegetable oil in a thin, continuous stream, whisking constantly until the sauce emulsifies and becomes thick and creamy.
  7. Whisk in 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar and the juice of 1/4 to 1/2 a lemon (about 1-2 tablespoons).
  8. Finely chop the 2 egg whites and gently fold them into the sauce.
  9. Stir in 1/4 cup (approximately 15g) of finely chopped fresh chives.
  10. (Optional) For a lighter sauce, stir in 6 ounces (170g) of plain Greek yogurt.
