Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover them with water until there's about 1 inch of water above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. This makes peeling easier and stops the cooking process.
Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shells. Rinse under cool water to remove any shell fragments.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing the yolks in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving plate.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly, then add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, salt, black pepper, and optional sweet pickle relish. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Taste the filling and adjust seasoning as needed, adding a tiny pinch of salt or pepper if desired.
Use a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip to fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, evenly dividing the filling among the egg whites.
Optional: Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika on top for a hint of color and flavor.
Chill the filled deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve cold.
