Ingredients
Scale
12 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, drained well
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Paprika, for garnish
Optional: Finely chopped fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by about one inch.
Bring the water to a full, rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let it stand for exactly 12 minutes.
Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice and cold water) to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely, about 10 minutes.
Peel the cooled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the empty white halves on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks thoroughly with a fork until no lumps remain.
Add the mayonnaise, drained dill pickle relish, mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks.
Mix all ingredients until the filling is completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For piping, use a star tip for a decorative look.
Chill the filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Just before serving, sprinkle the tops lightly with paprika and optional fresh dill.
Notes
For easy peeling, gently tap the cooled egg all over and roll it on the counter to crack the shell before peeling under running water.
Drain the pickle relish thoroughly; excess liquid will make your filling runny.
If you do not have a piping bag, use two small spoons to mound the filling neatly into the egg white cups.
