These were one of the appetizers served for KD's birthday tea party a few weeks ago. They look pretty good!
Making these were made so much simpler with pre-boiled eggs from Costco (2 dozen for $3.49).
I looked up a bunch of different recipes and while they were pretty much the same, I noted a few variations and added my own twist. I didn't use up the whole two dozen eggs either. I kind of eyeballed the ingredients...
Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
18 boiled eggs
mayo
sweet pickle relish
Colman's mustard (it's a British brand and it has a kick to it)
salt
pepper
smoked paprika
chives
Directions:
Cut the eggs in half, lengthwise
Pop out the yolks
Put all the yolks in a bowl
Add the mayo - I started with 1/4 cup and then added more as needed
Add a few teaspoons of mustard
Add salt and pepper to taste
Add a few squirts (haha) of the sweet pickle relish
Mash the yolks in the bowl with a fork
Here's where I had help.
D was over early for the party to help set up and arrange the food. While I was a whirling dervish in the kitchen preparing a few other appetizers, D was "involuntarily recruited" to spoon the yolk filling into the halved egg whites, which she did with panache and painstaking attention to detail. The filling was then topped with a pink of smoked Spanish paprika and a sprinkle of handsnipped chives. So, I have her to thank for the lovely presentation and execution of the deviled eggs.
I hope to make this again!

Mmm! The sweet pickle relish would be great! I'll try that next time. I also add onion in mine. Sometimes I sprinkle dill on half and paprika on the remaining half. Now I want some!
