These deviled eggs feature a creamy, rich filling balanced with the sweet crunch of pickle relish, making them a perfect, easy snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly 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 about an inch above the eggs.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately remove from heat and cover the pot. Let sit for 12 minutes.
  3. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Leave for at least 5 minutes to cool completely.
  4. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell. Rinse briefly and pat dry.
  5. Slice each egg lengthwise carefully with a sharp knife. Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If filling is too thick, add a small splash of milk or water to loosen.
  8. Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  9. Sprinkle smoked paprika and chopped fresh chives on top for garnish.
  10. Chill the filled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Rolling eggs gently on the counter before peeling helps crack the shell uniformly. For ultra-smooth filling, push yolks through a fine mesh sieve before mixing. Can be made up to a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge. Avoid freezing.
