First off you'll need to boil the eggs. I use a really simple and easy to remember method for boiling the eggs. Place your eggs in the bottom of a big pot - don't go over 1 layer in the bottom. Then fill the pot with cold water filling it to about an inch above the eggs. Heat on high until boiling (you can add vinegar to help the eggs from running should they act). Add a bit of salt to the water. Once boiling, let simmer for 1 minute. If you have a gas stove - you may need to turn the heat to very low. With an electric stove, there is enough heat leftover to keep it simmering for a minute. Next, remove from the heat and let sit covered for 12 minutes. Immediately place them into an ice bath and let cool completely. You can certainly boil the eggs ahead of time and put them in the fridge for a while before you need them. Cold eggs are so much easier to peel!

I like to peel my eggs under running water. It makes things easier and I'm convinced the water forces its way into the teeny space between the egg and the shell and helps me force it off. Maybe I'm crazy. Either way, the eggshells drop right into the sink which makes clean-up nice and quick!

Once they are peeled, slice the eggs in half lengthwise and separate the whites from the yolks. Toss the yolks into a food processor (or a bowl if you don't have one).
