Let’s Get Cooking: Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Hard Boil the Eggs: First, boil your eggs. I like to place them in a pot, cover them with cold water, bring to a boil, and then let them simmer for 12-14 minutes. Once they’re done, pop them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process52.
2. Peel and Slice: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise1.
3. Yolk Mixture: Gently remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and pickle juice. Mash everything together until it’s smooth12.
4. Add the Goodies: Stir in the fresh dill and diced dill pickles1. Season with salt and pepper to your liking3.
5. Fill the Eggs: You can use a spoon or a piping bag (or even a freezer bag with a corner cut off) to fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture12.
6. Garnish and Chill: Garnish with dill pickle slices, paprika, or fresh dill12. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve1.

Tips for Customization

• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the yolk mixture for a little heat5.
• Mustard Variety: Experiment with different mustards like whole grain or yellow mustard56.
• Paleo/Keto-Friendly: Use paleo mayonnaise and sugar-free pickle juice and pickles6.
• Add Crunch: If you like texture, reserve some finely chopped pickles to sprinkle on top just before serving5.
