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, or 1 dill pickle diced)
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Garnish
- Sweet paprika
Instructions
- Cut eggs. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise, carefully exposing the yolks inside.
- Remove yolks. Scoop out the egg yolks and place them into a small mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving tray.
- Make filling. Using a fork, mash the yolks until smooth with no large pieces remaining. To this, add mayonnaise, mustard, dill pickle relish, hot sauce, white vinegar, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine into a creamy filling.
- Fill eggs. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into each egg white half, carefully filling the hollowed sections evenly.
- Garnish. Lightly sprinkle the tops of the filled eggs with sweet paprika for a pop of color and subtle smoky flavor.
- Chill and serve. Cover the prepared deviled eggs and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing flavors to meld and the filling to firm up slightly.
Notes
- Using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise can lighten the filling and add a tangy flavor.
- Dill pickle relish can be swapped with finely chopped fresh dill pickles for texture variation.
- Adjust hot sauce quantity to taste or omit for mild flavor.
- Hard-boil eggs the day before to save prep time.
- For a decorative touch, use a piping bag with a star tip to fill the eggs.
- Deviled eggs keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
