How to Make Easy Deviled Eggs

1. Cook the eggs
   Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and cook at a bare simmer for 10 minutes.

2. Cool completely
   Remove from heat, drain the hot water, and immediately cover the eggs with ice-cold water. Let sit until cool enough to handle.

3. Prepare the filling
   Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Add mayonnaise, relish, mustard, and hot sauce. Process until smooth. Pulse in the chopped chives.

   No food processor? Mash everything with a fork for a slightly chunky, rustic texture.

4. Fill the eggs
   Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into each egg white half.

5. Garnish & serve
   Sprinkle with extra chives just before serving.

Additional Tips

• Taste and adjust seasoning before filling

• Add a pinch of salt if needed

• Paprika makes a great optional garnish

• Chill for 30 minutes before serving for best flavour

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare up to 24 hours in advance and store covered in the fridge.

Sweet or dill relish — which is better?
Both work! Sweet is more traditional, dill gives a sharper flavour.

Use a food processor and room-temperature mayo.
