Let’s Make it Together
Prep Your Eggs**: Start by boiling your eggs in water for about 10-12 minutes. Once done, place them in cold water to make peeling easier.
Peel Like A Pro: After cooling, gently tap each egg on the counter and roll it lightly until cracked. Peel under running water for easier removal.
Create The Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Mash them well before mixing in mayonnaise, mustard, and relish until creamy.
Season To Taste: Add salt and pepper according to your preference. Remember, tasting is key here; adjust seasoning until your heart sings!
Pipe It In Style: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into each egg white half. Feel free to get fancy— using a piping bag elevates your deviled egg game instantly.
Garnish And Serve: Finally, sprinkle some paprika on top for that eye-catching flair. Arrange them nicely on a serving platter because presentation matters—even in casual settings!
Now sit back and watch as everyone digs in!
