Main Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika (optional), for garnish
- Prepare the Eggs: Start by boiling your eggs until hard-boiled, about 10-12 minutes. Immediately plunge them into ice water to cool completely which stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier. Peel the eggs carefully to keep the whites intact.
- Halve and Scoop: Slice the cooled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks and place them into a mixing bowl; set the whites aside, ready for filling.
- Mix the Filling: Using a fork, mash the yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until creamy but with little bits of relish for texture and zing.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the filling back into each egg white half. For a neat presentation, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
- Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for color and subtle smoky flavor. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use eggs about one week old for easier peeling.
- Taste pickle relish before mixing; adjust quantity if it’s very sweet or sour.
- For an ultra-smooth filling, press yolks through a sieve before mixing.
- Chill deviled eggs uncovered briefly to dry edges and prevent filling from sliding.
- Trim uneven egg white edges for a smooth filling surface.
