24 Quails eggs, hard cooked and peeled
1/4 cup mayonnaise (as needed)
1 Tablespoons Dijon style mustard

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully pop out the yolks, being careful not to damage the whites.
In a small bowl combine the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, mashing with a fork to thoroughly combine the ingredients.

Using a piping bag with a very small star tip fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Add a little
caviar to the top of the yolk mixture immediately prior to serving.
