Units
Scale
- 8 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled*

- 1/8 tsp ground mustard
- 1/8 tsp ground thyme
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- A pinch of sea salt
- Smoked paprika, to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Carefully cut the eggs in half and scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl.
- Mash the yolks well with a fork, then add mayonnaise, garlic powder, mustard, thyme, black pepper, and pinch of sea salt. Continue mashing until smooth.
- Scoop the egg yolk mixture into the egg halves using a spoon or use a pastry bag to make it even fancier.
- Sprinkle each egg with smoked paprika. Enjoy!
Notes
My favorite method of cooking hard boiled eggs is using the Instant Pot. Kristine’s Kitchen has a wonderful recipe to use here.
Make ahead and enjoy these chilled. This makes a perfect make-ahead holiday, cookout, or picnic dish.
I like to buy whole spices and grind them using a Mortar and Pestle to bring out more flavor (affiliate link – see out disclosure here).
