Equipment
- saucepan
- steaming basket
- mixing bowl
- fork or spoon
- piping bag optional
- serving platter
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp finely minced dill pickle
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 2 tsp pickle juice
- 1 tsp fresh minced dill
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- paprika for garnish
- extra pickle slices for garnish
Instructions
- Pour 1–2 inches of water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Gently lower 6 eggs into the boiling water or place them in a steaming basket. Cover with a lid.
- Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and steam the eggs for exactly 11 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath and let them cool completely before peeling.
- Peel the eggs under cool running water to help remove the shells cleanly.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully pop the yolks into a small mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving platter.
- Add mayonnaise, minced dill pickle, yellow mustard, pickle juice, fresh dill, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy using a fork, spoon, or electric mixer on low.
- Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or a piping bag for a cleaner presentation.
- Garnish each egg with an extra pickle slice, a small sprig of fresh dill, and a dusting of paprika.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
For a lighter version, swap mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. Add hot sauce or cayenne pepper for extra heat. Make ahead and refrigerate up to 2 days before serving. Garnish just before serving for the freshest presentation.
