Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 Hard-Boiled Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Pickled Onions, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh Herbs (parsley, chives, or dill), chopped
  • Smoked Paprika, for sprinkling
  • Crispy Fried Onions or Bacon Bits, for topping

Instructions

  1. Boil and Peel the Eggs: Start by boiling your eggs until hard, typically 10-12 minutes. Immediately cool them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
  2. Prepare the Pickled Onions: If not using pre-made, slice red onions thinly and soak in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, and salt for at least 30 minutes to develop tangy flavor.
  3. Halve and Scoop Out Yolks: Carefully slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them into a bowl while keeping the whites intact for filling.
  4. Make the Filling: Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in finely chopped pickled onions, reserving some for garnish.
  5. Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites, ensuring each is neatly filled.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Top the filled eggs with the reserved pickled onions and optionally sprinkle with fresh herbs or smoked paprika before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for easier peeling and better texture.
  • Cool eggs quickly in an ice bath to prevent gray rings around yolks.
  • For a professional look, use a piping bag or zip-top bag with a snipped corner to fill the egg whites.
  • Taste the filling as you go to balance vinegar and mustard flavors.
  • Prepare a few hours ahead and refrigerate to let flavors meld perfectly.
