TIP: I haven’t given amounts…this can be to your personal preference. You can add additional ingredients such as a dash or two of Tabasco, diced green olives or black olives, prepared horseradish…but my family prefers them with just the listed ingredients.
-
ADDITIONAL TIP: Purchase your eggs a week or so in advance, older eggs peel much easier. Or, look at the dates in the grocery and buy the older ones! Also, peel your eggs under running water, makes it a lot easier.
-
Boil eggs, cool, peel. TIP: Lots of ways to boil eggs, here are a couple. ALWAYS PLACE EGGS IN COLD TAP WATER. (1) Bring water & eggs to boil uncovered. When rapidly boiling, turn off heat and place lid on pan, leaving pan on the stove for residual heat. Set timer for 20 minutes. Drain off water, cover unpeeled eggs with ice cubes and cold water until they have cooled. Drain, peel. (2) Bring water & eggs to boil uncovered. When rapidly boiling, set timer for 10 minutes and continue boiling uncovered for the 10 minutes. Drain off water, cover unpeeled eggs with ice cubes and cold water until they have cooled. Drain, peel.
-
Cut each egg in half and remove the yolks. Place yolks in a straight sided bowl.
-
Add several tablespoons of the Miracle Whip and the mustard and mash with a potato masher. Some people like to use their electric mixer. Add Miracle whip until yolks reach a nice consistency, like a stiff frosting.
-
Add sweet relish or any of the other ingredients until it reaches your desired preference.

Salt & Pepper to taste
-
Fill cavities of the whites of the eggs. You can use a spoon or get fancy and “pipe” the filling into the whites.
-
Sprinkle with paprika…if you like really spicy, sprinkle with cayenne.
