Instructions
Boil the Eggs:
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, cool, peel, and dry.
Make the Yolk Base:
Halve eggs and remove yolks. Mash yolks with mayo, mustard, vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Add the Egg Whites & Flavor:
Chop egg whites and fold into the yolk base. Add onion, relish, and any desired mix-ins. Gently stir to combine.
Chill & Serve:
Chill for 15–30 minutes. Serve on toast, in lettuce cups, in wraps, or with crackers.
Notes
Make Ahead: Pre-boil eggs and prep the base in advance. Mix fresh before serving.
Storage: Keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Dairy-Free: Use vegan mayo or plant-based yogurt alternatives.
Make It Spicy: Add diced jalapeños, cayenne, or hot sauce for heat.
Keto Tip: Skip the relish and serve with cucumber rounds or in lettuce wraps.
