Steps:
- Place the eggs in a medium saucepan with water to cover and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover the pan, and let stand for 20 minutes. Pour off the hot water and refill the saucepan with cold water. Crack the eggshells all over and let them sit in the cold water for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs, cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Halve the eggs lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and transfer them to a small bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, then stir in the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish and yellow mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Scoop a spoonful of the mixture into each egg white half. Sprinkle the tops with paprika.

My deviled eggs are the result of fine-tuning and experimenting through the years. I especially like the spices (turmeric, dill weed) used in this recipe.

Steps:
- Slice eggs lengthwise, slipping yolks into a separate bowl.
- (I set aside the egg halves that didn't come out perfectly and dice them for use in the egg salad mix.) Add onion, turmeric, dill weed, salt/pepper, about half of the paprika.
- Use a fork to loosen the egg yolks and blend with other ingredients before adding any moisture.
- This helps avoid those lumps of unmixed yolk you sometimes find.
- Add gherkins and juice.
- Add moisture: 1/4 cup mayo and approximately 2 tablespoons mustard to start; mix well.
- (I operate on the principle that you can always make a mix more moist, but taking it out is very hard!).
- Taste.
- Adjust moisture to your preference, using mayo, mustard or pickle juice- whichever is most needed.
- Scoop into egg white halves, top with paprika, chill before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs. Older eggs may have a stronger flavor that can overpower the other ingredients in your deviled eggs.
- Hard-boil your eggs perfectly. Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs will be runny. For the perfect hard-boiled egg, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of fillings. The classic deviled egg filling is made with mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika, but there are endless possibilities for variations. Try adding crumbled bacon, chopped ham, diced celery, or grated cheese. You can also use different types of mayonnaise, such as flavored mayonnaise or sour cream-based mayonnaise.
- Pipe the filling into the eggs. This will give your deviled eggs a more professional look and make them easier to eat. To pipe the filling, use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a spoon or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
- Garnish your deviled eggs. A simple garnish can add a pop of color and flavor to your deviled eggs. Try sprinkling them with chopped chives, parsley, or paprika. You can also add a dollop of caviar or a wedge of lemon.
Conclusion:
Deviled eggs are a classic party appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create deviled eggs that are both delicious and visually appealing.
