Steps

1. 1

   Begin by peeling the hard-boiled eggs and then halving them. Extract the yolks into a small bowl. Into this bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, relish, lemon juice, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Utilize a wooden spoon to blend all the ingredients until a smooth mixture forms. Proceed to refill the egg halves with this mixture using either a piping bag equipped with a large star tip or simply use a teaspoon for this step. Finally, garnish the filled eggs with chives before serving.

2. 2

   For smoother hard-boiled eggs that are easier to peel, opt for older eggs instead of fresh ones. The shells will come off more effortlessly, saving you the hassle of struggling with peeling.

3. 3

   In a large saucepan, add the eggs and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 14 minutes to cook through perfectly. Afterward, carefully transfer the eggs into a bowl of cold water to cool down before peeling off their shells.
