Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the eggs for 10 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs carefully, then slice them in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks and set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
In a food processor, combine the egg yolks, black olives, capers, anchovy fillets, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth paste. Taste the tapenade and adjust seasoning if needed.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the tapenade mixture.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch (optional).
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving.
