Ingredients for Easy Deviled Egg Recipe

The basic ingredients to make a deviled egg with relish recipe are:
- Hard-boiled eggs – No way around it, hard boiled eggs are essential for deviled eggs. I recommend Large Eggs that are two weeks old or older. PS – Eggs last way past their expiration date.
- Dijon mustard – Any mustard will work, my favorite for deviled eggs is dijon mustard because it is a lighter flavor. Spicy brown mustard could be a change-up and regular yellow mustard works just fine too.
- Sweet pickle relish – Whether it is homemade or store-bought pickle relish, you will want some sweet pickle relish. If you only have dill, add a little sugar to the recipe. Only have whole sweet pickles? Chop them up and use them.
- Mayonnaise – I don’t ever have less than two containers of mayo in the fridge at any time. If you are more of a Miracle Whip salad dressing person, you can substitute that for mayonnaise.
- Salt and Pepper
- Paprika – Optional for sprinkling on top.
