Ingredients
- 1-2 Shakes Paprika (over each halved egg)
- 1/4 teaspoon Dill
- 1/2 teaspoon (or a little more) Garlic Powder
- 4-5 tablespoons Mayo
- 3 (pea-sized) drops Dijon Mustard
- Pinch of Salt
- 6 Large Eggs
Serves 4 people
Step 1: To begin, we are going to boil these eggs. We should set the heat at Medium to Medium High. We will put the six eggs in the water (before it boils to avoid burning ourselves). And let them cook for about 15 minutes. Then we can remove them from the heat.
Step 2: Now we empty the boiling the water and fill the pot with cool water and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Then we start removing the shells from the eggs. Once the shells are removed, we want to halve the eggs using a sharp knife. The butter knives are ok to use but I find I have more success with a sharper knife. More precise. So less chance of the egg being cut haphazardly. Sometimes these eggs give us trouble and they can fall apart.
Step 3: Next, with our fingers we can remove the cooked yolk from the halved egg and place it in a regular sized bowl. So once you have removed all the cooked yolks from the halved eggs you can start to make your yolk mixture.
Step 4: First things first, take a fork and firmly mash the cooked yolk up. Then, we take the Salt, Dill, the Garlic, the Dijon Mustard, and the Mayonnaise and combine in the bowl. We are going to mix it together with the fork working through any lumps or hunks of cooked yolk. So it should be nice and smooth. We want a good strong yellow coming through for color. So don’t add too much Mayonnaise, just the amount I suggested will do great.
Step 5: Then we take a spoon and take about the size of the part of the egg that is hollowed out, that size spoonful, and add it to each halved egg. You can be a bit generous and top it off so it overflows, but conserve to make sure there is enough for each halved egg.
Step 6: Finally, we are going to sprinkle about 2 shakes of Paprika atop each Deviled Egg. Then Serve. (A quick side note you can refrigerate these and serve them a little cool or just the room temperature way.)
