Zesty Deviled Eggs with Smoked Paprika

Ingredients

- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet pickles
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon horseradish sauce
- 4 dashes Tabasco sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water by about an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in hot water for 12 minutes.

2. Cool & Peel the Eggs
Carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs into a bowl filled with ice water. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes. Peel the eggs under running water for easier removal of shells.

3. Prepare the Egg Halves
Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter, cut side up.

4. Make the Filling
To the bowl with yolks, add mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sweet pickles, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, horseradish sauce, Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Mash together with a fork until smooth and creamy.

5. Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into each egg white half. Be generous with the filling to make them more appetizing.

6. Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle the filled eggs with smoked paprika and fresh parsley. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

7. Final Touch
Just before serving, add an extra dash of paprika for color and an optional sprig of parsley on the serving platter for presentation.
