Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp finely minced dill pickle
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp pickle juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 12 pickle slices for garnish
  • 1 tsp paprika for garnish

Equipment

  • saucepan with lid
  • steaming basket optional
  • mixing bowl
  • serving platter
  • piping bag optional

Method
 

  1. Fill the bottom of a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water or place them in a steaming basket. Cover the pan with a lid.
  3. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and steam the eggs for exactly 11 minutes.
  4. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool completely for at least 10 minutes before peeling.
  5. Peel the eggs under cool running water for easier shell removal.
  6. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully pop out the yolks into a small mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving platter.
  7. Add the mayonnaise, finely minced dill pickle, yellow mustard, pickle juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  8. Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a wide tip.
  9. Garnish with a slice of pickle, a small sprig of fresh dill, and a light dusting of paprika.
  10. Serve immediately or refrigerate uncovered for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For extra smooth filling, press the egg yolks through a fine mesh sieve before mixing. Make ahead by boiling the eggs and preparing the filling separately up to 2 days in advance. Garnish just before serving for the freshest presentation. Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicy variation.
