Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 eggs
Filling
- ¼ cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoon dill relish (try not to get too much of the liquid)
- Pepper to taste
Topping
- Sprinkle of paprika for serving
Instructions
- Hard boil eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water so there's about an inch of water above the eggs. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water to help the eggs peel quicker. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
- Cool eggs: Remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in an ice bath to cool completely, which also makes peeling easier.
- Peel and prepare eggs: Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks until creamy with very few lumps remaining.
- Make filling: Add the dijon mustard, dill relish, mayo, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and creamy.
- Assemble deviled eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle a bit of paprika over the filled eggs for color and added flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!
