Cook the eggs
- Place the eggs in a 3-quart saucepan in a single layer and add 6 cups cold water, or enough to cover them by 1 inch.
- Bring to a full boil over high heat.
- Cover the pan and remove it from the heat.
- Let the eggs stand for 12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl with 4 cups cold water and the ice.
- Chill for 10 minutes, then peel.
Prepare the filling
- Halve the eggs lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a medium bowl.
- Arrange the whites on a serving platter.
- Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Fill and chill
- Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.
- Sprinkle with paprika.
- Chill covered for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a smooth filling, mash the yolks thoroughly before mixing in the other ingredients. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; freezing is not recommended. Use light mayonnaise for a lighter option.
