1 oz roasted red peppers, about one piece, minced

Place eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Pour enough cool water over eggs to cover them by 1 inch. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 12 minutes. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and plunge into ice water (to prevent further cooking).
