Instructions
- Cook eggs. Bring water to a boil. Carefully add eggs to boiling water. Boil eggs for 10 minutes. Let sit for an additional 10 minutes.
- Peel eggs & cut in half. Remove yolks and set aside in a bowl. Arrange egg-halves on a platter.
- Make filling. Mash egg yolks with a fork. Add mayo, mustard, and relish. Mix thoroughly.
- Spoon yolks into egg halves (a melon scooper works great if you've got one or use a piping bag).
- Sprinkle paprika on top and add chopped chives or a sprig of fresh dill to each egg then serve.
Notes
- Eggs will be easy to peel if you add them to boiling water. It can be tricky not to crack them doing this though! I use a spider strainer to slowly lower 4-5 eggs at a time into the boiling water.
- If you don't have a piping bag, use a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off.
- Try making these dill deviled egg using pickled red beet eggs for an impressive look and flavor.
- For creamier filling, add a little extra mayo.
- Onion powder can also be added for more flavor, if desired.
