Preparation
  1. Place eggs in a pot and cover with water.
  2. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat.
  3. Let them sit for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.
  4. Peel and slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
  5. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.

For perfect hard-boiled eggs, adhere to the 12-minute resting rule post-boil. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can make them ahead by filling the egg whites and covering them until ready to serve.
