Equipment

stockpot · ice bath · piping bags · scale

U.S. major allergens intentionally present

Egg

Additional sensitivity note

None listed.

Holding / service

Refrigerate ≤41°F / 5°C; fill close enough to service to preserve surface quality.

Raw-animal-food control: where this formula includes raw animal food, use the current authority-approved cooking time/temperature and the venue’s approved procedure. Sensory doneness never substitutes for a required food-safety endpoint.

Formula — 1× target batch

Scaling table

Use the input-percentage column to audit transcription. The ½× and 2× columns scale ingredient mass only; process capacity must be revalidated.

Ingredient weights scale arithmetically; pan geometry, heat input, evaporation, fryer recovery, mixing shear, proofing/bake behavior and holding capacity do not. Revalidate process whenever batch size or equipment changes.

Method

1. Cook and chill eggs with a method that sets yolks without a strong green sulfur ring, then peel carefully.

2. Halve lengthwise and remove yolks without tearing whites; weigh usable whites/yolks if yield control is important.

3. Pass yolks through a fine screen or mash until smooth, then mix with measured mayonnaise, mustard, brine, salt and pepper.

4. Adjust filling to a pipeable but stable texture; over-thinning makes the halves slump during holding.

5. Pipe by weight into whites, garnish uniformly and chill promptly until service.

Working numbers

• 48 halves
• Approximate finished portion: 2 halves / 100 g
• Filling ratio is controlled by weight
• Cold holding ≤41°F / 5°C

Production verification

• Record actual finished batch weight before portioning; compare with target and investigate material variance.
• Record actual portion count and portion mass during service rather than inferring count from target yield.
• Verify current supplier labels for major allergens and document cross-contact limits of the actual station/equipment.
• Record the process/temperature checkpoints that are critical to this formula under the venue’s approved food-safety procedure.
• Taste or otherwise evaluate the formula at its actual service temperature and after the realistic hold/travel interval.

Sensory standard

Smooth savory filling, tender white, clean mustard/pickle brightness, no sulfur odor, watery filling or torn whites.

Evaluate the control batch at pickup and again after the realistic handoff or hold. The written standard should describe the point at which the formula is still sellable and the point at which it must be remade, repurposed under an approved plan or discarded.

Version control

KECB professional training formula; validate local regulatory requirements, supplier specifications and venue procedures before production. A measured correction to the recipe becomes a documented formula revision after a controlled test; do not let different cooks maintain invisible personal versions.
