Egg Appetizer (Printable Version)
Smooth and zesty deviled eggs that balance sweet relish and tangy mustard. Perfect for parties or family get-togethers.
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 tbsp sweet relish
02 -
A dash of black pepper, if you like
03 -
Paprika and chopped chives for topping (optional)
04 -
2 1/2 tbsp Miracle Whip spread
05 -
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
06 -
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
07 -
6 large eggs
08 -
1/4 tsp kosher salt (use less if substituting table salt)
09 -
1 tsp yellow mustard
# Steps:
01 -
Fill a bowl with cold water and plenty of ice cubes. You’ll need this later to quickly chill the eggs after cooking.
02 -
Choose a pot that gives the eggs enough room to move around. Add the eggs inside, sprinkle with salt, and pour in enough water to submerge them (around 4-5 cups depending on your pot). Turn on high heat so the water starts to boil.
03 -
When the water starts bubbling, reduce it to a lower setting so it’s no longer boiling. Carefully lower the eggs in using a tea strainer if you have one.
04 -
After placing the eggs in, turn the stove back up to high and let the water boil again. Cook the eggs like this for roughly 14 minutes.
05 -
Once they’re done, scoop the eggs out and set them straight into the icy water you prepared earlier. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes until they’re chilled all the way through.
06 -
Take care to peel each egg gently, making sure no shell bits stick to them. Slice each egg in half lengthwise down the middle.
07 -
Scoop out the yolks from each egg half. Use a fork or masher to get them nice and smooth. Stir in Miracle Whip, mustard, vinegar, and sugar. Add relish and a pinch of black pepper if that’s your style.
08 -
You can use a piping bag for neatness or just a spoon to add the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Sprinkle on some paprika or chives if that sounds good to you.
09 -
Cover the stuffed eggs and stick them in the fridge until it’s time to dig in.
# Notes:
01 -
Older eggs, ideally at least a week old, are a breeze to peel.
02 -
Mayonnaise can replace Miracle Whip, but it won’t taste as tangy.
03 -
To bring out the best flavor, make these the day before serving.
