Ingredients
Scale:
6 large eggs, preferably organic or free-range
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
1 teaspoon pickle juice (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (for topping)
Paprika for garnish
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, about an inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes.
After the time has elapsed, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel. Rinse under cold water to remove any shell bits, then pat dry with a paper towel.
Carefully slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, chopped dill pickles, and pickle juice (if using) to the yolks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Using a fork, mash the egg yolk mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture, mounding it slightly for a pleasing presentation.
Sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh dill before serving.
