Ingredients
– 12 large eggs
– 1/3 cup mayonnaise or a combination of half mayonnaise and half plain Greek yogurt (totaling 1/3 cup)
– 2 tablespoons pickle relish or 2 tablespoons diced dill pickle
– 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard or 1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Paprika or chives for garnish
Instructions
1-Hard Boil Eggs: Pick one method to get started. For stovetop, cover 12 large eggs with cold water in a pot, heat to boiling, add 1 teaspoon baking soda, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes. Then, cool the eggs right away in ice water. If using an Instant Pot, add 1 cup water and a wire rack, place eggs on the rack, cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, allow a 5-minute natural pressure release, and cool in ice water. For the oven method, preheat to 325 degrees F, place eggs in a muffin tin, bake for 30 minutes, and cool in ice water.
2-Prepare Eggs: After cooling, peel the eggs carefully. Slice each one lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a bowl, keeping the whites intact for filling later.
3-Make Filling: Mash the egg yolks well in the bowl. Mix in the mayonnaise or the mayonnaise and yogurt combination (totaling 1/3 cup), the pickle relish or diced dill pickle, the mustard, salt, and pepper until everything is smooth. Taste and adjust as needed for the perfect flavor.
4-Fill Eggs: Use a spoon or a piping bag to put the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites, making sure each one is evenly filled.
5-Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with paprika or chives right before serving. You can store them covered in the fridge for 2-3 days to enjoy later.
Notes
π₯ Adding 1 teaspoon baking soda to boiling water makes peeling eggs easier.
βοΈ Deviled eggs can be prepared ahead and refrigerated.
πΆοΈ Experiment with additions like avocado, bacon, chives, herbs, or spicy seasonings for variety.
