Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs:
- Place the eggs gently in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let them sit for 10 minutes as you sip on a cup of coffee or tea.
- Cool and Peel:
- Once cooked, drain the hot water and run cold water over the eggs to cool them down. This makes peeling a lot easier—trust me, no one likes a broken egg white!
- The Filling:
- Slice the eggs in half and place the yolks in a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork and blend in the mayonnaise, mustard, sweet pickle relish, vinegar, salt, and pepper until it's all smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Egg Whites:
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg halves. Imagine you’re giving each egg a little swirl, perfect for impressing your guests.
- Garnish and Chill:
- Sprinkle with paprika and add chopped chives on top if you like. Cover and chill until it’s time to serve, allowing those flavors to meld together beautifully.
