Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 eggs
Filling
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoon dill relish (try not to get too much of the liquid)
- Pepper to taste
Garnish
- Sprinkle of paprika for serving
Instructions
- Hard boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water so there is about an inch of water above the eggs. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water to help the eggs peel easier. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Cool and peel the eggs: Remove the eggs from the hot water and place them into an ice bath to cool completely. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully to avoid damaging the whites.
- Prepare the filling: Slice the peeled eggs lengthwise in half. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks until creamy and mostly smooth with very few lumps.
- Mix the filling: Add the Dijon mustard, dill relish, mayonnaise, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir well to combine everything evenly.
- Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the filled eggs with paprika for a classic touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Southern Deviled Eggs!
