Bring a pan of water to a simmer, carefully lower in 9 room-temperature eggs and simmer for 10 mins, then transfer to a bowl of ice-cold water to quickly cool.

Peel the eggs, then halve them. Scoop the yolks out into a bowl. Mash with 4 tbsp of mayonnaise, 2 tbsp of full-fat greek yogurt, 1 tsp of dijon mustard and some seasoning until you have a smooth paste. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a plain or fluted nozzle.

Decorate the tops with nori flakes, sesame seeds and spring onion curls; urfa chilli flakes, coriander leaves and chopped toasted almonds; or chives, fish roe and radish slices.
