- Once the water is boiling, remove the pan from the heat, but don't lift the lid. Leave the eggs off the heat with the lid on for 10 minutes.
- While the eggs are standing, prepare a bowl of ice water.
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the hot water with a strainer and place them into the iced water.
- Peel the eggs carefully and rinse under cold water to get rid of any bits of shell that may be clinging to them.
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a small bowl and the egg whites on a serving platter or plate.
- Use a fork to break the egg yolk into small crumbs. Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix everything until it's smooth. Taste your mixture and add more salt and pepper or as needed.⅓ cup mayonnaise2 teaspoon Dijon mustard1½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar¼ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon pepper

Notes
- You can find capers in the pickle aisle of most grocery stores. They are usually with pickled onions, olives, and jarred peppers. You will need a small jar. Around a 3 floz or 110g jar)
- When you have fried the capers the oil will have a wonderful subtle caper flavor. Once cooled, keep the oil in the refrigerator and use it for salad dressings or pasta sauces.
- The fresh herbs are totally optional. You could use chives, parsley, or oregano.
