Ingredient Notes

Large eggs – For best results, I like to use organic brown eggs, but you can use any fresh eggs you have on hand. Hard Boil them and cool before using. Or buy already cooked eggs for easier prep.
Mayonnaise – Replace the half cup mayo with Miracle whip, sour cream, or greek yogurt as needed.
Mustard – I use equal parts yellow mustard and Dijon mustard. Substitute one for the other if you prefer.
Sweet pickle juice – I like the sweet gherkins, but any dill pickles will also work.

How To Hard Boil Eggs

Want easier peeling for your hard-boiled eggs? To begin, boil water on high heat in a large saucepan and place your eggs in. Leave in for around 10 minutes.

Test out if they’re done by removing one from the pot and putting it under cold running water before trying it for consistency.

If the egg is cooked enough, run the rest under cold water. If you are making a large batch, you can also remove each egg with a slotted spoon and place them in an ice bath.

The last step is to remove the cold eggs after a few minutes and begin peeling. Check out this complete guide to making the perfect deviled eggs!
