Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspooncoriander seeds
1/2 teaspoonfennel seeds
1/2 teaspoonblack peppercorns
1/4 cupmayonnaise, preferably Kewpie
1 medium garlic clove, minced or finely grated
2 teaspoonsDijon mustard

1 tablespoonfreshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/8 teaspoonground cayenne
1 pinchkosher salt, plus more to taste
1 jalapeño, finely chopped
2 tablespoonsfinely chopped cilantro or parsley leaves
Directions:
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the coriander, fennel, and peppercorns to a small skillet over medium-low heat. Toast until fragrant and the fennel seeds are golden, swirling the pan occasionally and keeping a close eye. Using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, coarsely grind.
When the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to chill. Crack them on a countertop, then peel them under the water.
In a medium bowl, combine the mayo, garlic, Dijon, lemon zest, lemon juice, cayenne, and salt. Stir in the jalapeño and cilantro or parsley.
Coarsely or finely grate the boiled eggs, then gently stir those in. Taste and add more salt, cayenne, and lemon juice as needed.
