Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 9-10 minutes.
After the eggs are cooked, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel the eggs once cooled and set them aside.
For the green sauce, add the parsley, basil, chives, garlic clove, olive oil, lemon juice, capers (if using), salt, black pepper, and water to a blender or food processor.
Blend the ingredients until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add an extra teaspoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Slice the peeled hard-boiled eggs into even rounds and arrange them on a serving plate.
Drizzle the green sauce generously over the sliced eggs, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
Garnish with additional chopped herbs or a sprinkle of black pepper for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate the dish for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
