Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs (hard-boiled and cooled)
Filling
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard (or Dijon mustard)
- 4 teaspoons dill pickle relish (optional, can use 1 dill pickle diced instead)
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Garnish
- Sweet paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut eggs. Peel your hard-boiled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise, carefully separating the whites and yolks.
- Prepare yolks. Scoop out the yolks into a small bowl, setting the whites aside on a plate to fill later.
- Make filling. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no large lumps.
- Mix ingredients. Add mayonnaise, mustard, dill pickle relish, hot sauce, white vinegar, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir well to combine into a smooth, flavorful filling.
- Fill eggs. Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill each egg white half with the yolk filling, creating a neat mound or decorative swirl.
- Garnish. Lightly sprinkle each filled egg with sweet paprika for a pop of color and subtle smoky flavor.
- Chill and serve. Cover the deviled eggs with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve, ideally for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Notes
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- Use Dijon mustard for a sharper flavor if preferred.
- Dill pickle relish can be replaced with finely diced dill pickles for texture.
- Adjust hot sauce quantity based on your spice preference or omit entirely.
- Ensure eggs are completely cooled before peeling for best results.
- For easy peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old.
- Deviled eggs can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
