Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can 5 ounces tuna (drained, preferably packed in olive oil)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise you can substitute Greek yogurt for a healthier twist!
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon dill relish or pickle relish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or paprika for garnish optional, but oh-so-pretty!
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Fill a medium pot with water and carefully drop in your eggs. Make sure they’re not crowded! Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes. This gives you that perfect hard-boiled egg.
- Cool It Down: Once the eggs are done cooking, transfer them to an ice bath. Just fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Let them chill for about 5 minutes. This helps with peeling!
- Peel and Halve: Carefully peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shell easily. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Lay the egg whites on a serving platter, looking all beautiful and ready to be filled!
- Make the Flavorful Filling: In the bowl with the yolks, add the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, relish, salt, and pepper. Mix until it’s nice and creamy. You can use a fork or a hand mixer to get that smooth consistency.
- Fill Those Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag (if you're feeling extra fancy), fill the egg whites with the tuna mixture. Don’t stress about getting it perfect; a little messiness adds charm!
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle some fresh chives or a dash of paprika on top for that finishing touch. Now, take a step back and admire your work. Looks fantastic, doesn’t it? Serve them immediately, or chill them in the fridge until you’re ready!
