In a large mixing bowl, combine the hard-boiled eggs, anchovy fillets, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and lemon juice.

Mash the mixture with a fork or potato masher until it reaches a coarse, uniform consistency, or blend briefly with an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
-
Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to ensure it is evenly incorporated.
-
Spoon the mousse into a serving dish or individual ramekins, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Just before serving, top the mousse with caviar and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh pepper if desired.
