A quick and easy deviled eggs recipe featuring a tangy filling made with pickle relish and Dijon mustard, perfect for snacks and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, well drained
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch (~2.5 cm). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes for fully hard-boiled eggs.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath (bowl of ice water) for 5 minutes to stop cooking. Gently tap and peel the eggs, rinsing to remove any shell bits.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a bowl, placing whites on a serving plate. Using a fork, mash yolks until smooth.
  4. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons well-drained sweet pickle relish, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Stir until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a neat finish or a small spoon if preferred.
  6. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and finely chopped fresh chives. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Drain pickle relish well to avoid watery filling. Use the off-heat steeping method for tender whites and creamy yolks. Older eggs peel easier. Add milk or more mayo if filling is too thick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add paprika and chives just before serving.
