Hard-boil the eggs, rinse, and peel. Finely crush the egg yolks. Finely chop the egg whites, gherkins, chives, and parsley. In a mixing bowl, slowly stir the oil into the crushed egg yolks until a smooth paste forms. Now add the mustard and cream and mix well, then season with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Finally, stir in the finely chopped ingredients. Chill before serving. This sauce goes perfectly with crab or fried fish.
