Instructions

  1. Place the raw eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover them completely. Heat over medium‑high until the water reaches a rolling boil, then continue boiling for 13 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and immediately replace it with cold water to cool the eggs quickly. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice each in half lengthwise, setting the whites aside.
  3. Scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, then stir in the mayonnaise, mustard, minced onion, chopped pickles, pickle juice, white vinegar, and salt and pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.
  4. Using a spoon or pastry bag, fill each egg‑white half with the yolk mixture. Sprinkle the tops with paprika or chile powder for garnish, then serve.
