To hard boil eggs, simply add the eggs to a pot with enough water to cover them.
Bring to a roiling boil, then turn the heat off and add the lid to the pot.
After 12 minutes, drain the water and once the eggs are cool enough to handle peel the shells off.
In a food processor, pulse the eggs a few times, so they are very finely chopped.
Add the chopped eggs to a medium size bowl. Then, add the mayo, dijon, chopped dill, chopped chives, and cayenne.
Stir together.
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.

These are ingredients you can substitute for the dill and chives to change up the flavor.

Try turmeric, ginger and go heavier on the black pepper.
Try rosemary and thyme in place of the dill and chives.
Try sliced black and green olive with some feta cheese for a Greek-inspired egg salad.
