To make hard boiled eggs, simply add eggs to pot and cover with enough water that all the eggs are submerged.
Bring this to a boil.
Then, turn off the heat and cover the pot for 12 minutes.
Afterwards, drain the water.
Once the eggs are cool enough to touch, peel the shells off.
Cut the hard boiled eggs in half, lengthwise. Remove the yolks, reserving in a medium mixing bowl.
In the mixing bowl, add the mayo and other ingredients you are using (depending on variation). Mix well to combine.
Taste and add a little salt and pepper as needed.
Pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Sprinkle paprika over the tops, if using.
