What you’ll need:

  2. Drain and transfer eggs to a large bowl of ice water; set aside until cool. 
  3. Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise, gently separating yolks from whites;discard two eggs white halves. Pulse yolks in a food processor or mash in a bowl with a fork.
  4. Fold tapenade, to taste, into yolks; add just enough aioli, about 1/2 a cup, to create a creamy mixture. (Refrigerate remaining aioli and use like mayonnaise)
  5. Spoon filing into whites and garnish with cracked black pepper and light drizzle if extra virgin olive oil.
