Deviled Eggs

I don’t really use a recipe, basically just wing it. I’ll take the yolks, add salt and pepper, add mayo, then a little but of melted butter then add a splash of pickle juice. I’ll make them once a week just to have as a side for supper.

I saw a hack that uses a push pin (or similar) to poke a hole in the fat end of the egg before boiling, which allows the air to escape in the process and makes for an evenly distributed egg white, ie no thin edges. I’ve tried it once and it worked. The eggs were uniform in looks.
As for the filling; mayo, relish or chopped green pimento olives (or both), and some salt and pepper. You can mash all of that up in a Ziploc bag and then cut a corner off and pipe into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika or cayenne for color.

Interesting, couple mentions now of adding melted butter. Never heard of that before.

Salt, pepper, mayo (I use primal kitchen because it has a great bite to it), creole mustard, and finely chopped shallots. It's also good to sprinkle a few bits of crispy bacon on top

Instant pot 5-5-5 method is the easiest and best way to hard boil eggs. Perfect every time and easy to peel.

steamed is the easiest way
inch of water in a pot to boiling
eggs in a metal steamer basket
steam covered for eleven minutes
steamer basket to a bowl of cold water
peel when cool enough to handle

no broken shells, no green yolks, not overcooked

I don't have a recipe with measurements. I go by texture and taste. I typically make the traditional Southern deviled eggs. I'm not a big fan of adding other ingredients.

I mix the below into the mashed yolks.

Mayo
Mustard
Sweet pickle relish or a mix of sweet and dill
Salt
Pepper
A little hot sauce sometimes

Sprinkle the tops with some paprika if you wish.

More mustard than mayo,

I agree. I don't use much mayo. Mustard is what gives the "devil" flavor.

Whatever amount I end up setting out to make, about 50% never make it to the container because they are eaten along the way

Even my young kids (5&7) love them

Fresh is best.
