Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon onion powder
  • Paprika for garnish
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs

  • Place the eggs in a large pot. Cover them with cold water by about one inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes.

Cool the Eggs

  • Move the cooked eggs into a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes. This step makes peeling much easier and helps keep the egg whites smooth.

Peel and Slice

  • Carefully peel each egg. Rinse away any small shell pieces. Pat the eggs dry with paper towels. Slice each egg in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Place the whites on a serving plate.

Remove the Yolks

  • Gently scoop out the cooked yolks using a spoon. Place all the yolks into a mixing bowl. Keep the egg white halves safe because they will hold the creamy filling later.

Make the Filling

  • Mash the egg yolks with a fork until very smooth. Add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir everything well until creamy and fluffy.

Fill the Egg Whites

  • Spoon the filling into each egg white half. For a prettier look, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with one corner cut off. Fill each egg evenly.

Garnish and Serve

  • Lightly sprinkle paprika over every stuffed egg. Add chopped parsley if you like extra color. Chill the eggs for at least 20 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Use older eggs because they peel more easily.
  • Chill the eggs before filling them.
  • Mash the yolks very well for a smooth texture.
  • Taste the filling before serving.
  • Add a little hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Mix in chopped bacon for smoky flavor.
  • Add chopped chives for freshness.
  • Try Dijon mustard for a stronger taste.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of some mayonnaise.
  • Top with crispy bacon bits for a fun twist.
