For me, everything is “to taste” with deviled eggs. Taste as you go along to make the right mixture. Below are the ingredients I use to put mine together. The sweet relish is what holds special kick for my version.
- 10 eggs
- mayonnaise
- sweet relish
- dijon mustard
- yellow mustard
- salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Smoked Spanish paprika, for garnish
Directions
Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with enough water that there’s 1 1/2 inches of water above the eggs. Heat on high until water begins to boil, then cover, turn the heat to low, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and leave covered for 14 minutes, then rinse under cold water continuously for 1 minute.
Crack egg shells and carefully peel under cool running water. Gently dry with paper towels. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, removing yolks to a medium bowl, and placing the whites on a serving platter. Mash the yolks into a fine crumble using a fork. Add mayonnaise, relish, yellow mustard, djon mustard, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Be sure to taste to see if you want to add a little more of one or the other ingredients.
Use a spatula and scoop yolk mixture into ziplock bag. Zip it up and cut off a small portion of a corner (It’s a make-shift pastry bag ya’ll!). Squeeze mixture evenly into egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.
