  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper plus extra for garnish
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup Pecorino-Romano finely grated, plus extra for garnish
  • Fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Set your cold eggs in cold water in a pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes. When done, remove the eggs from the pot and set in a bowl of ice water to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Peel the eggs. Cut them in half lengthwise.
  • Cut the boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Pop the yolks out into a bowl. Set the egg whites on a platter.
  • Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly, then mix in mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and Pecorino-Romano.
  • Transfer to a piping bag (or Ziploc with the tip cut off) and pipe into each egg white, slightly overfilling.
  • Top with extra Pecorino-Romano cheese and black pepper.
