Description

Million Dollar Deviled Eggs are a delightful twist on a classic appetizer, featuring a creamy, velvety filling that bursts with zesty flavors. Each bite offers a perfect balance of tangy mustard, rich mayonnaise, and a hint of sweetness, all nestled in a perfectly cooked egg white.

Ingredients

Eggs: 6 large eggs
Filling:
- Mayonnaise: 1/3 cup
- Mustard: 1 tablespoon (Dijon or yellow)
- Sweet pickle relish: 1 tablespoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Pepper: 1/8 teaspoon
- Smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- Fresh chives: 1 tablespoon, finely chopped

Instructions

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Mix until smooth and creamy, then fold in the chopped chives.
Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
Sprinkle with additional smoked paprika and chives for garnish before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
