Just like I make it, and they disappear fast! I've also been known to swap out some of the mayo (I'm strictly a Hellman's full-fat girl) with left-over Hollandaise -- really, really good!

I've made deviled eggs with these very ingredients (in varying quantities depending on who they were made for) for many years. Always a hit. My 23 yr old son insists that I garnish with Paprika. So they are pretty! ; )

I've made this same recipe for years and my family loves them. I use sweet pickle cubes instead of relish. they are easier to drain.

I have always made my deviled eggs this way and they are delicious. I like to garnish my eggs with stuffed green olives. There are never any leftovers!

I just recently started using this recipe after using one from another food diva for years. My son-in-law says these are the best he has ever tasted and there are NEVER any leftovers.

These are the absolute best deviled eggs I have ever had. The adding of the sweet pickles & relish really gives it a perfect flavor. I have been making them bimonthly, just for our own delicious consumption!
