What Can Relish Do for Deviled Eggs?

Texture: The crunch provided by the relish plays beautifully against the whipped texture of the egg yolk mix.
Looks: Relish — of all the options — adds color to your dish.
Deviled Eggs with Relish Ingredients
For this delightful twist on deviled eggs, you’ll need:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sweet relish
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Top with chopped chives or crispy bacon if you wish
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Boil the Eggs:Put the eggs in a single layer into a saucepan. Cover with water by about 1 inch. Heat 2 quarts of water on the stove over medium-high heat to boiling. Bring the saucepan to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover. Place the eggs in the hot water and let them sit for 10-12 minutes. Once cooked through, remove from heat and place the eggs in an ice bath until completely cool.
- Prepare the Filling:Shell the boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and put them in a small mixing bowl. Meanwhile, use a fork to mash the yolks until crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar (tangy), and sweet relish that I mentioned earlier, along with salt and pepper. Mix until the filling becomes a smooth paste.
- Fill the Egg Whites:Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag. Load the eggs into a piping bag with a star tip to make them look pretty and pipe in the filling.
- Garnish and Serve:Dust the filled eggs with paprika for a retro touch. Top with optional toppings like chopped chives or a few crumbles of bacon for even more flavor and crunch. Chill the deviled eggs before serving.
