Steps:

• Place eggs in the bottom of a large pot and cover with cold water.
• Bring water to a boil over high heat. Turn off heat, cover the pan and let the eggs sit for 20 minutes.

• Peel the cooled eggs then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yellow yolks and place them in a small bowl. Plate egg white halves on serving plate.
• Use a fork to mash the egg yolks. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Season the mixture to taste with extra salt and pepper as needed.
• Fill each egg half with the yolk mixture, mounding it up a little. Sprinkle with any desired toppings and serve.
