Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 ½ tbsps sweet pickle relish
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Chopped pimentos
- Pickle slices
Instructions
- Preparation: Gently place eggs in a spacious saucepan, fully submerged in cool water, positioning the pan over medium-high heat until water reaches a rolling boil.
- Cooking Process: Remove from heat, cover pan, and allow eggs to rest undisturbed for 12 minutes, ensuring perfectly cooked interiors, then transfer to an ice-water bath to halt cooking and ease peeling.
- Yolk Extraction: Carefully peel eggs and slice lengthwise, delicately removing golden yolks into a mixing bowl and mashing smoothly with a fork.
- Flavor Fusion: Blend mashed yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, and sweet pickle relish, creating a creamy, uniform mixture, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Elegant Assembly: Fill egg white halves with the prepared mixture using a spoon or piping bag, achieving a polished presentation, and garnish with a light dusting of paprika for a vibrant finish.
- Serving: Refrigerate or serve immediately, presenting a classic appetizer that promises to delight guests with its rich, tantalizing flavors.
Notes
- Egg Boiling Precision: Use eggs at room temperature to prevent cracking and ensure even cooking during the boiling process.
- Peeling Pro Tip: Gently tap and roll boiled eggs on a hard surface to create micro-cracks, making shell removal smoother and preventing egg white damage.
- Creamy Filling Secret: Allow yolk mixture to reach room temperature before mixing ingredients for a more consistent, velvety texture.
- Low-Carb Adaptation: Swap pickle relish with finely chopped herbs or diced jalapeños for a keto-friendly version that maintains rich flavor profile.
