2. Remove from burner. Cover pan. Let eggs sit in hot water about 12 minutes for large eggs (9 minutes for medium eggs; 15 minutes for extra large).

3. Drain immediately and cool completely under cold running water or in bowl of ice water. When fully cooled, separate and discard yolks.

4. Place egg whites in a mixing bowl, finely chop, and then add the mayonnaise and dill. Mix the ingredients.
