Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Hard-Boiled Eggs
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped Dill Pickles
- 1 tablespoon Dill Pickle Juice
- 2 tablespoons finely minced Fresh Dill
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- Salt to taste
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Hard-Boiled Eggs: Start by boiling the eggs. Place them in a pot and cover them with water, making sure there’s about an inch of water above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for around 12-15 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 10-15 minutes to cool down.
- Halve the Eggs and Scoop the Yolks: Once the eggs have cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface and roll it to crack the shell. Peel the eggs under running water to remove any stubborn bits of shell. With a sharp knife, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
- Mash the Yolks: Using a fork, mash the yolks until they are mostly smooth but still have a few small lumps.
- Incorporate the Dill Pickle Flavors and Creamy Base: To the mashed yolks, add the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, dill pickle juice, fresh dill, and Dijon mustard. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Season and Mix the Filling: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and mix until smooth and integrated.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the filling and add more dill pickle juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh dill, chopped dill pickle, or paprika. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
