Classic Southern Deviled Eggs

No church potluck, family reunion, or tailgate in Georgia starts without them. Creamy, tangy, with a whisper of sweet pickle — and they disappear faster than anything else on the table.

Directions

  1. Cover the eggs with cold water, bring to a boil, then cover, kill the heat, and let stand 12 minutes.
  2. Shock the eggs in ice water for 5 minutes, then peel — older eggs peel easier than fresh ones.
  3. Halve lengthwise, pop the yolks into a bowl, and mash with the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper until completely smooth.
  4. Pipe or spoon the filling back into the whites.
  5. Dust with smoked paprika, top with dill, and chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
