A classic recipe for holidays like Easter
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Serving Size 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 6 hard boiled eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped white or yellow onion
  • 1 tsp. white sugar
  • 1 tsp. white vinegar
  • 1 tsp. prepared mustard
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • garnish with paprika and dried parsley
  • *Optional, you can also add 2 Tbsp. finely chopped red pepper into the filling if you'd like

Instructions

  • Boil the eggs for 12 minutes. Set a timer as soon as the water starts to boil.
  • While the eggs boil add to a small bowl the mayonnaise, onions, sugar, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. (Also add the red peppers if you're adding them.) Mix then set aside.
  • Once the eggs are finished boiling remove the shells and slice them in half.
  • Remove the yolks and add them to the mayonnaise mixture and mix well.
  • Add the egg whites to a serving dish. (I add mine to a deep pie dish so I can easily cover them without the cling wrap touching the filling)
  • Add 1 heaping tsp. of the filling to each egg white.
  • Garnish with paprika and then parsley.
  • Cover then place them in the fridge for a few hours to chill before serving.

Notes

  • Store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
