Ingredients

  • 1 dozen eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ tsp of mustard
  • 1 tbsp of onion finely chopped
  • Salt & paprika

Instructions

  • Prepare the eggs. Bring a pot of water to boil and cook for 16 minutes. Or use your instant pot and use the 5-5-5 method. More details about this is in the description above and the notes below.
  • While the eggs are boiling, finely chop 1 tbsp of onion.
  • Remove the eggs from the boiling water and let cool in either an ice bath or naturally.
  • Once eggs have cooled, peel them and cut them lengthwise, being careful not to break the egg whites.
  • Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl and mash them with a fork until they are crumbled.
  • Now, add the ½ cup of mayonnaise, ½ tsp of mustard, and 1 tbsp of finely chopped onions. Mix to combine.
  • Taste the mixture. If you like the flavor great! If not, add a little bit of salt to taste.
  • Assemble the eggs by filling the egg whites with the yolk mixture. About a tsp at a time.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or any other toppings that you love and enjoy.

Notes

  • I highly recommend preparing this recipe a couple of hours in advance. The flavor is absolutely amazing once all the ingredients have set. 
  • Also this recipe tastes great from the get-go. But trust this momma, it's worth the wait!
  • I like my yolk mixture to have a good amount of creaminess. So add less mayonnaise if you like your mixture a little stiffer.
