Instructions

Hard boil your eggs: put the eggs in a pot and cover them with water so that there's about an inch of water above the eggs. I've found that a teaspoon of salt in the water helps the eggs to peel quicker. Set the pot over medium hight heat and bring to a rolling boil. Once at a boil, remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pot and place them in an ice bath to cool completely.

Peel your cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks until they’re creamy and very few lumps remain.

Add the dijon, relish, mayo, and pepper to the yolks and mix well to combine.

Spoon the mixture into the egg whites and sprinkle with a bit of paprika. Serve and ENJOY!

Notes

*There’s enough salt in the mustard, mayo, and salt that you shouldn’t need to add any extra but adjust to your preferences.

*If you don’t have dill relish, you can actually just finely chop up a pickle and mix in that plus about 1 teaspoon of the pickle juice. It’s not quite as good but works in a pinch :D

Tips & Tricks (5)

Ice Bath Perfection 🧊
Immediately transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and ensure creamy, bright yellow yolks without that gray-green ring.
Yolk-to-Mayo Ratio 🥄
Use 1 tablespoon of mayo per 2 egg yolks for that signature creamy texture—too much mayo makes them heavy, too little leaves them dry and pasty.
Relish Liquid Control 💧
Drain your dill relish thoroughly before mixing to avoid excess moisture that will make the filling runny; pat it dry with a paper towel for best results.
Piping Bag Technique 🎨
Transfer the filling to a piping bag with a star tip for elegant, professional-looking presentation that shows off the creamy texture and impresses your guests.
Paprika Placement & Freshness 🌶️
Add paprika as a final garnish right before serving rather than mixing it in, and use high-quality smoked paprika for deeper flavor that won't fade or taste bitter.
