Cut hard-boiled eggs lengthwise in half. Carefully remove yolks to a small bowl. You can either scoop the yolks out carefully with a spoon, or gently squeeze the edges of the egg together and let the yolk fall out. Mash yolks thoroughly with a fork and set aside.

Notes
Method for Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Make sure you are not using extremely fresh eggs, as they are invariably harder to peel. Opt for eggs around 2 weeks old before making hard-boiled eggs if possible.
Place the eggs in a single layer in the bottom of a pot and cover with water (covering with at least 1 inch of water). Turn the heat on high and bring the pot to a boil, uncovered.
When the water has come to a boil, remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let it sit 8 minutes for soft boiled and 10 minutes for hard boiled.
While waiting for pot to boil, fill a large (emphasize "large") bowl with ice cubes and cold water. Transfer the boiled eggs to the ice water after 8-10 minutes and let them sit in ice water for 5-10 minutes. Peel under running cool water. This step is critical for easy peeling.
