Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 12 Large Eggs
Filling
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- 2 teaspoons Hot Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Pickle Juice
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place 12 large eggs gently into a large pot and cover them with water by at least an inch. Heat the water until it reaches a rolling boil, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit uncovered in the hot water for 12 minutes to cook through.
- Cool the eggs: Drain the hot water and immediately fill the pot with ice water to cool the eggs quickly. Leave them in the ice water bath for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel the eggs: Carefully remove the eggs from the ice water and peel off the shells, discarding them.
- Halve and remove yolks: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them into a food processor for smooth blending.
- Blend yolk mixture: Process the yolks for about 20 seconds until smooth. Transfer them to a bowl and stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and pickle juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly until creamy.
- Prepare for filling: Spoon the yolk mixture into a pastry bag or a ziplock bag with a cut tip for easy piping.
- Fill the egg whites: Pipe the yolk filling evenly into the egg white halves, creating attractive swirls or mounds of the creamy filling for serving.
Notes
- For easier peeling, make sure to use eggs that aren’t extremely fresh and cool them quickly after boiling.
- Adjust the hot sauce amount based on your preferred spice level.
- Pickle juice adds a tangy flavor and moisture to the filling; don’t omit it.
- This recipe can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Use a piping bag for a professional presentation, or simply spoon the filling if unavailable.
