Cook the eggs perfectly by boiling them, covering the pot, removing from heat, letting them sit for 12 minutes, then transferring them to an ice bath.
For a beautiful presentation, pipe the filling into the egg whites using a piping bag or a small cookie scoop, and garnish with paprika, chives, or bacon bits.
