- Add mayonnaise and mustard to the bowl with the crumbled yolks and use the fork to combine them until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Start with the smaller amounts of mayo and yellow mustard. Thoroughly combine and then test the mixture. Is it the consistency you want? The flavor you want? Add more mayonnaise and mustard to suit your personal tastes. Make the recipe your own!
