Method:  
Cut a paper-thin slice off both ends of eggs and halve eggs cross wise.
Force yolks through a sieve into a bowl (or mash with a fork) and stir in the remaining
ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large decorative tip and pipe into whites, mounding it.
Just before serving, garnish each egg half with a few tarragon leaves.
