Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons sweet relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • dash Tabasco sauce optional
  • paprika for sprinkling
  • Sweet gherkin pickles for garnish

Instructions

MAKE THE HARD-BOILED EGGS:

  • Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil.
  • Boil for one minute, cover with lid, and remove from heat. Allow the eggs to sit covered for 18 minutes, then drain and transfer to an ice bath.
  • Peel the eggs and set aside.

MAKE THE DEVILED EGGS:

  • Slice eggs in half lengthwise.
  • Scoop the yolks into a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, mustard, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Use a fork to mash well. Add a little more mayonnaise if needed for a creamy consistency.
  • Spoon or pipe the filling into each egg white. Sprinkle with paprika and top with a small slice of sweet gherkin pickle if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

RECIPE NOTES
  • Start with perfectly-cooked eggs: To avoid overcooking, use a timer and be careful not to over-boil. Once the eggs are cooked, cool them quickly by placing them in ice water, which will help the shells come off more easily.
  • Get creative with the filling: Classic deviled eggs are made with mayonnaise, mustard, and relish, but you can get creative with the ingredients! I like adding a dash of hot sauce to the filling and a sprinkle of paprika. Then add Sweet gherkin pickles for garnish. You could also try adding bacon, cheese, or avocado!
  • Use a piping bag for a professional look: Add decorative touches like swirls or rosettes to get a professional look! You can use a pastry bag or a plastic bag with the corner cut off to make the process easier.
