Instructions
1
Begin by placing a dozen large eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs.
2
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 20 minutes.
3
After 20 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down quickly, which helps with peeling.
4
Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface, then roll it to crack the shell. Peel the shells under running water for easier removal.
5
Cut each egg in half lengthwise and place the egg whites on a serving platter.
6
In a medium mixing bowl, carefully remove the yolks and place them in the bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbled.
7
Add 1 cup of Kraft real mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of yellow mustard, 3 tablespoons of dill pickle relish, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mashed yolks.
8
Stir the mixture until smooth and creamy, adjusting the salt to taste.
9
Using a small spoon, fill each egg white half generously with the yolk mixture, creating a lovely mound.
10
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of paprika over the filled eggs for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Serve chilled and enjoy these deliciously tangy, creamy deviled eggs with family and friends!
