Ingredients
Scale
- 12 hard-boiled eggs: cooled and peeled
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise: adds creaminess and richness
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard: provides tang and classic flavor
- 2 teaspoons dill pickle juice: adds a secret tangy twist
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt: enhances overall flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: adds a mild spice kick
- Few drops hot sauce (optional): for a spicy touch
- Ground paprika (for garnish): adds color and traditional flair
- Chopped chives (optional, for garnish): adds fresh, oniony note
Instructions
- Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they become fine and crumbly.
- Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, dill pickle juice, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) to the yolks. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the filling to a zip-top bag, snip off a corner, and pipe the mixture into the hollows of the egg whites.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped chives if desired.
- Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling.
- Mash yolks well to avoid a lumpy filling.
- Don’t overdo the mustard—balance is key.
- Add hot sauce sparingly and adjust to taste.
- Refrigerating the eggs before serving helps the filling firm up.
