Instructions
Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover with water, making sure there is at least 1” of water over the tops of the eggs.
Turn on the heat, and bring to a rolling boil.
Turn off the heat, and cover. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Remove from the water, and place in a bowl with ice cubes. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, or until no longer hot to touch.
Crack the eggs on the bottom, and peel carefully. If need be, rinse the eggs to remove all the shell from them before proceeding.
Slice each egg in half, and pop the yolks out into a large bowl. Use a fork to smash them together.
Measure the mayonnaise, sweet relish and mustard into a small bowl. Mix together to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary.
Pour the mayo mixture over the egg yolks. Stir until combined.
Transfer the filling mixture to a piping bag OR use a spoon to dollop about 1 tablespoon of the filling into the egg whites.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sweet paprika and/or fresh chives, and serve immediately.
