4) Remove pickled egg whites from marinade, & pat dry with paper towels. Spoon 1 heaping Tbsp yolk mixture into each pickled egg white half. Garnish with toppers, as desired.
5) Easy 12-Minute Method for Hard-Boiled eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan large enough to hold thme in a single layer. Add cold water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Heat over high heat just to boiling. Remove from the burner. Cover pan. Let eggs stand in hot water for about 12 minutes for large eggs (9 minutes for medium eggs; 15 minutes for extra large eggs). Drain. Shock the eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool them immediately. Hard-boiled eggs are easiest to peel right after cooling.
