Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon grainy or Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Cook the Eggs
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes.
Cool the Eggs
- Drain the hot water and rinse eggs under cold running water until cool enough to handle. Gently crack each egg while cooling to help loosen the shells.
Prepare the Filling
- Peel the eggs and rinse with cold water. Slice eggs in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Remove yolks and place them into the bowl of a food processor. Set egg whites aside.
- Add mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, pepper, and salt to the yolks. Pulse a few times, scrape down the sides, then pulse again until smooth and creamy. Do not overmix.
Fill the Eggs
- Transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe filling evenly into the egg white halves.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with your favorite toppings such as paprika, fresh chives, crispy bacon, dill, or pickled jalapeños. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
Older eggs are easier to peel than very fresh eggs.
An ice bath helps stop cooking and prevents gray yolks.
For extra smooth filling, let ingredients come to room temperature before mixing.
No pastry bag? Use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
