  Using a slotted spoon, place eggs on paper towels. Place colored water in fridge to cool. Use the end of a wooden spoon to tap each egg in several places to slightly crack shell. The more places you crack, the more webbing the egg will have. Place eggs back into cooled colored water and let sit for 2 to 3 hours.

  When done, peel eggs and cut lengthwise. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the egg yolks and set whites aside. Mash yolks with the remaining ingredients. Fill each egg white with yolk mixture.

  Garnish with chives. Serve, or cover and refrigerate.
