Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing your large eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water by at least an inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the eggs to an ice bath filled with cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells and peel them under running water for better ease. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbly. Add mayonnaise, gin (or vodka), dry vermouth, olive brine, garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chopped green olives and parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary by tasting again.
- Spoon or pipe the flavorful yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites, filling them generously.
- Sprinkle a touch of paprika or chili flakes on top for color and a hint of heat. Serve them chilled.

Notes
You can prepare the yolk filling a day in advance but hold off on assembling the eggs until just before serving for the best texture.
