Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (55 g) mayo
  • 1 tbsp butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp sweet gherkin pickle juice
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • dash Tabasco sauce, optional
  • paprika, for sprinkling
  • bacon pieces, optional

Instructions

Hard Boil the Eggs

  • Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water.
  • Transfer to stovetop over high heat until water begins to boil.
  • Boil for one minute, cover with lid, and remove from heat. Allow to sit for 17 minutes and then drain and transfer to an ice bath.
  • Peel eggs and set aside.

Make the Deviled Eggs

  • Slice eggs in half lengthwise.
  • Remove yolks and transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add mayo, butter, mustards, pickle juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Use a fork to mash well.
  • Spoon filling into each egg white. Sprinkle with paprika and bacon (if using) and serve.
  • If desired, top with a small slice of sweet gherkin pickle.

Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before mixing. This helps it blend smoothly into the yolks and gives the filling its extra-creamy texture.
  • Make ahead: You can assemble the deviled eggs up to 1 day in advance. Keep them covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving.
  • Prep 2 days ahead: Prepare the egg whites and filling separately and refrigerate both in airtight containers. Stir the filling and assemble the eggs when you're ready to serve.
  • Smooth filling: Mash the yolks and filling ingredients thoroughly with a fork. For a prettier finish, you can pipe the filling into the egg whites instead of spooning it in.
  • Toppings: Paprika is the classic finish. Add the optional bacon pieces or a small slice of sweet gherkin pickle for a little extra flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Keep leftover deviled eggs refrigerated in an airtight container. For food safety, don't leave them at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
