Step 1

Cook the eggs the way you prefer to make hard-boiled eggs. I like to use either the stovetop method or Instant Pot for hard-boiling eggs for this recipe.

Step 2

Cool the eggs in a cold water ice bath for 10-15 minutes. Then peel them.

Step 3

Slice your eggs lengthwise down the center.

Step 4

Remove yolks and set them aside in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 5

Rinse the egg white halves to remove any yolk residue.

Step 6

With a fork, break the yolks up until they are crumbly.

Step 7

Add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks and mix very well until it's a creamy texture. Use a mixer or food processor for the smoothest filling.

Step 8

Load the deviled egg mixture into a piping bag and gently fill each egg half with about 2 tablespoons of the blended yolk mixture.

Step 9

Serve the eggs cold, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika.
