Ingredients

6 hard-boiled eggs
¼ cup mayonnaise
1½ teaspoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons pickle relish
2 dashes vinegar-based hot sauce
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
paprika for garnish

Instructions

Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the egg yolks from the hard-boiled eggs and transfer them to a bowl. Mash them well with a fork. For an extra creamy texture, push the egg yolks through a potato ricer using the disk with the smallest holes.
Stir in the mayo, mustard, pickle relish, and hot sauce. Blend well and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Spoon in or pipe the yolk mixture into the eggs. Garnish with a few pinches of smoked paprika.

Notes

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
