Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 dozen hard boiled eggs large or extra large
  • 1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dill weed

Instructions

  • Rule #1 is always boil more eggs than you need based on the recipe so you'll have plenty of filling - - I personally double the number of eggs and yes, I don't use all the egg white halves. Eggs that are nearing their expiration date seem to work better than fresh eggs.
  • Cook and peel hard boiled eggs, ensure they are blotted dry with paper towels then cut in half. Place the cooked egg yolks into a mixing bowl. Place the best egg white halves in an egg tray/carrier. (I have two carriers and both hold 24 halves plus I have a glass tray that holds 12 halves.)
  • Mash the egg yolks well with a fork ensuring there are no large clumps. Add all ingredients and mix very well with a stand or hand mixer ensuring the mixture is smooth. Take a quick taste to ensure it's to your liking - - - my family prefers it with a little more zing so I may add a tad more mustard, vinegar or both.
  • Using a cake decorator or piping bag, fill each egg so it is very full. Garnish by sprinkling each egg with a little paprika and/or parsley. Chill until you serve.
