Prep Time30 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Course: Side Dish
Servings: 6
Calories: 195kcal

Ingredients

  • 12 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled Use local, fresh eggs if possible
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise I use Blue Plate
  • 3 tbsp sweet pickle relish Art Smith's recipe calls for 2 tbsp
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp salt Art Smith's recipe calls for 1/2 tsp
  • paprika

Instructions

  • Cut the eggs in half, and place yolks in a bowl. Add the mayo, relish, mustard and salt, and smash ingredients together with fork. 
  • Scoop the mixture into the cavity of each egg, and mash with fork. Sprinkle with paprika. Note that Art Smith pipes the yolk filling into his eggs, making them extra polished. However, this classic recipe is somewhat thick, making piping a bit cumbersome. May add tiny pieces of bacon or chives for extra garnish.
