Ingredients
Method
- Hard boil your eggs, let them cool then peel them. *
- Once you have your eggs peeled, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the yolks and put them into a separate bowl.
- Once you have all your eggs peeled, cut and dissected.
- Add the Mayonnaise, mustard, relish, gops and cayenne to the bowl with the yolks. (you can omit the cayenne if you don’t like spice)
- Take a fork and mash the yolks into the mixture.
- Then take a heaping spoonful of the eggy mixture and spoon it into the hole of the empty egg whites.
- Sprinkle with paprika.
Notes
*Note: The one thing I cannot do is boil eggs and have them peel easy, I have tried every trick you can imagine, the vinegar, cracking them with a knife etc. I just am horrible at boiling eggs. So use your own methods to boil the eggs.

I find that it’s the temperature that makes peeling boiled eggs easy – if they get too cold that membrane sticks to the eggs. But if you cool ’em juuuuust enough, they peel easy. I generally let ’em sit out for about 10 or 15 minutes after taking them out of the hot water and run cold water over them for a few seconds – then they are luke-warm on the inside and the membrane comes off pretty easy, especially if you crack them and start the peeling over the air pocket.
I did notice the last time I made these, I let them cool a little bit before trying to peel them, and it was a lot easier. Thank you for the tip!
