Ingredients
  

Eggs
  • 12 large eggs
Filling
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup dill pickles, finely minced
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.125 tsp salt
Garnish
  • 1 Small pickle slices and dill fronds for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Boil and chill the eggs
  1. Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water, then bring to a boil. Cover the pot, remove from heat, and let stand 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 10 minutes. Peel and halve lengthwise.
Make the dill pickle yolk filling
  1. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, Dijon, fresh dill, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Keep mashing until no yolk lumps remain.
  2. Fold in the minced dill pickles. Mix until the filling is evenly speckled.
Fill and garnish
  1. Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites. Fill each egg half to the top for a neat profile.
  2. Top each deviled egg with a pickle slice and a dill frond. Arrange the garnish so it sits centered on each filling mound.

Notes

For the smoothest filling, mash yolks thoroughly before adding mayo and pickle juice, then fold in minced pickles last so the texture stays chunky. Store assembled deviled eggs in the refrigerator up to 2 days; for best appearance, add pickle slices and dill fronds just before serving. These freeze poorly due to texture changes, so avoid freezing. Dietary swap: use avocado mayo or vegan mayo for a dairy-free version (texture will be slightly softer).
