Instructions
1
Place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan. Fill the saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by about 3 inches.
2
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat.
3
Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. This will ensure perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
4
After 15 minutes, carefully drain the hot water, and fill the saucepan with cold water to cool the eggs quickly. You can also add ice cubes for quicker results.
5
Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell, and then peel them under cold, running water to make the process easier.
6
Cut each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
7
Add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, prepared mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Using a fork, mash the mixture thoroughly until it's smooth and creamy.
8
Carefully spoon or use a pastry bag to fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture, ensuring an even and generous filling.
9
Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika on top for garnish, adding a pop of color and flavor.
10
Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold and enjoy!
