Ingredients
6 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon pickle juice or diced pickles
1/4 teaspoon salt
Paprika
1 tablespoon chopped dill
Directions
- Place the eggs evenly across the bottom of a large pot. Add enough water to just cover the top of the eggs. Set the pot on a burner set to medium high heat. Bring the water to a boil, and immediately cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let the water cool down, and drain the water from the pot. Pour cold water over the eggs. Let sit until the eggs are completely cool to the touch.
- Peel the shell off of each egg. Using eggs that are a few days old will make peeling them easier.
- After removing the shells, cut each egg in half lengthwise. Separate the whites and yolks.
- Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the yolks into fire pieces. Add the mayonnaise, dill, pickle juice or pickles and salt. Mix until well combined. If the mixture appears too thick, try adding a tablespoon of extra mayonnaise. Using a tablespoon, stuff each of the egg whites with a small amount of the yolk mixture. Arrange the stuffed eggs on a plate or dish, and sprinkle a small amount of paprika over the top.
