Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Whole Eggs (large)
- 1/4 cup (55 grams) Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Prepared Yellow Mustard
- 1/3 cup (62 grams) Dill Pickles (chopped fine)
- 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Pickle Juice
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives (chopped fine)
- 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper (ground)
- 1/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- Cayenne or Tabasco (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pot fitted with a steamer basket, bring one inch of water to a boil. Add the eggs to the steamer basket, and lid. Set a timer for 13 minutes and steam the eggs.
- Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath in a medium bowl. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice bath. Set a timer for 13 minutes and allow the eggs to cool.
- Peel the eggs by tapping the larger end of the egg on a hard surface, then roll the egg gently to crack the remaining surface. Remove the shell, then rough chop the cooked egg, leaving the eggs chunky.
- While the eggs are steaming or cooling, to a medium mixing bowl, add the mayo, mustard, pickles, pickle juice, dill, chives, salt, pepper and paprika.
- Transfer the chopped eggs to the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Taste for seasoning adjustment, adding more pickle juice for tang, salt and/or pepper to taste.
- Refrigerate for at least thirty minutes before enjoying so the flavors can marry.
- Store the deviled egg salad in a lidded container in the fridge for up to four days.
Notes
- You may notice some liquid forming in the bowl after 24 hours in the fridge. You can stir this back in or drain it off.
