Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons pickle relish (well-drained)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar or pickle juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish (optional)

  • Paprika, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Start by boiling fresh eggs until hard-cooked, about 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel them gently to keep the whites intact and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  2. Remove and mash the yolks: Carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, ensuring the whites stay whole. Use a fork to mash the yolks until smooth and crumb-free.
  3. Mix the filling: Combine the mashed yolks with mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, and a splash of vinegar or pickle juice. Stir until the mixture is creamy and well-incorporated.
  4. Season to taste: Add salt and freshly ground pepper carefully, tasting as you go. You want the seasoning to highlight the flavors without overpowering them.
  5. Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, generously fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, creating a neat mound or playful swirl.
  6. Garnish and chill: Sprinkle paprika on top for color and a touch of smoky flavor. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and eggs chill.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for easier peeling and less cracking.
  • Drain pickle relish well to prevent soggy filling.
  • Don’t over-mix the yolk filling; a slightly chunky texture improves mouthfeel.
  • Use a piping bag for a neat, professional presentation.
  • Make the deviled eggs ahead and chill for a few hours to enhance flavor.
