Ingredients

12 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons salted butter room temperature
1 Tablespoon pickle juice
1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
smoked paprika to taste (for topping)

Instructions

Place your eggs in a large saucepan in a single layer and fill the pot with enough water so that the eggs are completely submerged. Bring the water up to a rolling boil. Cover and turn off the heat, and allow the eggs to sit for 10 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Allow the eggs to sit for 5-10 minutes in the cold water to cool completely.
Peel the shells off of the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Use a small spoon to scoop all of the egg yolks into a small bowl.
Add in the mayonnaise, butter, pickle juice, mustard, and garlic powder. Mash the mixture with a fork. I then like to use a whisk to mix everything together until smooth and creamy. Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a piping bag with a star tip.
Place all of the egg whites onto a serving platter and pipe the egg yolk mixture into the hole of the egg whites. Sprinkle the deviled eggs with the smoked paprika. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Don't skip the ice bath! It is my number one tip for good hard boiled eggs that are easier to peel.
To add some heat, try adding a dash of hot sauce or tabasco sauce.You could also add small sliced pieces of jalapeno to the top! Yum!
Add some pizazz to your finished deviled eggs. Consider topping them off with a some chopped crispy bacon or adding a little color with sliced green onions. I usually keep it simple with a sprinkle of paprika over the top.
Store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
