Deviled Eggs

This is my mom's recipe and I love it. I grew up eating these eggs and look forward to having them every time I visit my parents. It's a perfect appetizer to take to any party.

  • 10 eggs, hard boiled
  • 3-4 tbsp mayonnaise (more if you want it creamier)
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 1 small dill pickle, diced finely
  • 1 green onion, chopped finely
  • 1/4 tsp dried mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste (My Mom uses white pepper & celery salt)
  • Paprika for garnish

Place the eggs in cold water and peel the shells off. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise so they are stable. Clean out the center yolks with a spoon into a shallow bowl. Use a fork and smash them until they are really smooth. Add the dill pickle, green onion, pickle juice, mayonnaise, dried mustard, salt and pepper then mix thoroughly. Taste and re-season if necessary. Spoon mixture back into the egg halves. Sprinkle tops with paprika. Enjoy.
