Fill a large stockpot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to a deep bowl and fill it halfway with cold water.
Keep it near your boiling stockpot to make the transfer smoother. Use a spoon to carefully add the eggs to the boiling water.
Boil your eggs for exactly 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
Once the eggs are done, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the boiling water and gently place them into the ice bath. Allow to completely cool, for 5 minutes in the ice bath. As soon as the eggs are chilled, peel them.
Using a sharp knife, cut the eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove all of the yolks; Place the yolks in a food processor or large bowl if using a hand mixer.
Add to the yolks all the remaining ingredients: Using your food processor or hand mixer beat the mixture until very smooth. Taste and season with sea salt and pepper as desired.
Transfer this mixture to a piping bag fitted with a tip then pipe your filling into the egg halves as shown.
Garnish the deviled eggs with a few fresh chives, if desired.
Serve immediately, or lightly cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve. Best within 2 hours of preparing.
Enjoy!
