Servings 12 deviled eggs

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dijon or yellow mustard, your choice
  • 3 Tbsp. baconnaise
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. sweet relish, pickle or zucchini* drain some of the liquid

Instructions
 

  • Hard boil your eggs. My favorite way is with the Instant Pot. Pour about 1 inch of water in the pot, set in the rack, set eggs on rack, seal pot and set for 3 minutes on high.
  • As soon as the Instant Pot is done, quick release the steam and remove the eggs to a bowl of ice water.
  • Once chilled, which only takes about 5 minutes, peel eggs, rinse them and pat them dry.
  • Slice eggs in half, placing whites on a serving tray and the yolks in a mixing bowl.
  • Break up the yolks with a fork or a whisk. Add the other ingredients and mix well to combine. Give it a taste for seasoning and add anything you'd like more of.
  • Either spoon the yolk mixture into the whites or create a piping bag with a ziptop bag and pipe in the filling. You can garnish with a little extra relish, a sprig of fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika. I left mine plain and they're still beautiful.
  • I would never use my Instant Pot to cook only 6 eggs. I would either double this recipe if I were serving a crowd or at least cook more eggs and simply keep them in the fridge for snacks.
  • If not serving (or eating) these right away, store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Notes

I use homemade zucchini relish. It's delicious and well worth the effort to make it every summer. If you want to see how to make it, I have a video here. Otherwise, use whatever pickle relish you like.
