Make the hard-boiled eggs. Click here for instructions.  Place eggs immediately in a large bowl of ice water until cooled. Carefully peel the shells.

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, and carefully remove the yolks into a small bowl. Mash the yolks; stir in the mayonnaise, pickled jalapeños and juice, white wine vinegar, dried mustard, cumin, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Mix well until creamy and smooth. Taste and add more seasonings, pickled juice, or vinegar as desired, if needed.

Spoon the mixture into a small zip-top bag and pipe into egg halves.

Cover in an airtight container and chill for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.

Garnish with fresh cilantro right before serving. Enjoy.
