Instructions
Steps
Boil the Eggs: Place large eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a gentle boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes.
Cool and Peel: Drain hot water and cool eggs under cold running water. Tap each egg on a hard surface to peel easily.
Prepare the Filling: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop yolks into a mixing bowl. Place egg whites on a serving platter.
Mix Filling: Mash yolks until crumbly, then mix in mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickle cubes, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Fill Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe yolk mixture back into egg whites, aiming for a nice mound.
Add Toppings and Serve: Finish with optional toppings like paprika, fresh herbs, or crumbled bacon. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Using fresh eggs ensures easier peeling. Adjust seasonings for maximum flavor. Assemble before serving for the best texture.
