  • 2 tablespoons sweet or dill pickle relish
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Directions
  1. Place the eggs in a medium pot in a single layer.
  2. Pour cold water over the eggs until they’re just covered. Heat on medium-high until the water comes to a boil.

  7. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Place the whites on a serving dish and set aside.
  8. Add the mayonnaise and mustard to the bowl with the yolks and mash with a fork until well mixed.
  9. Add the relish, salt, and black pepper and stir until combined.
  10. Using spoons, evenly divide the yolk mixture into the egg white depressions.
  11. Garnish the yolk mixture with a pimento piece and paprika.
