❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love how versatile this recipe is and you an add what you love to it. We added bacon bits to these and a little greenery but you don’t have to. This is a great basic recipe for deviled eggs. Some people love to add a green olive to them, it’s all a personal choice, but this is a wonderful base recipe.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Eggs
- Sweet pickle relish
- Mayonnaise
- Yellow mustard
- Pepper
- Salt
- Sugar
- Paprika (To sprinkle on top)
SWAPS
If you love dill instead of sweet relish, then, by all means, switch that out. Add bacon to the top, an olive, use a different mustard (honey mustard is great), you can easily make this recipe your own.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
These are not hard to make and the longest part of the process is boiling the eggs and peeling them.

COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Contrary to what many people say, I think adding the eggs to boiling, salted water, makes them easier to peel. Always have eggs at room temperature before boiling! Bring salted water (add about 1 tablespoon salt to water before boiling) to a boil and add eggs. I use a soup ladle to lower the uncooked eggs gently into the boiling water. Boil eggs on medium heat and boil one minute per egg. A dozen eggs takes twelve minutes boiling time. Remove pot from stove and put under running cold water. Peel immediately holding the egg under the cold water for smooth, peeled eggs.

Step 2
Once peeled, slice the eggs lengthwise and scoop out the center yolks. In a bowl combine egg yolks with ingredients and mash with a fork. Spoon filling into halves. Sprinkle eggs with paprika. Add bacon bits and parsley if you desire.

⭐TIP
If you are not a fan of vinegar, you can easily use pickle juice. We like to really fill our eggs with the mixture as you can see! You can use less in each egg if you like.

❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, but we find it best to boil the eggs and then make the deviled eggs the day of.
It gives a little bit of acid to the mixture and balances the flavor.
STORING
Best to store in a single layer or in an designated egg carrier. Sometimes the eggs will sweat, so you can put a paper towel on the bottom.
