Ingredients

  • 12 extra large eggs

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise, plus a Tbsp. or so more if desired

  • 1/2 tsp. dry mustard

  • 1 heaping Tbsp. prepared horseradish

  • 2 Tbsp. flat leaf parsley, minced

  • 1/8 tsp. salt

  • 1/4 tsp. fresh black pepper

  • Paprika, to garnish

Directions

  • In a large sauce pan or pot, place eggs. Cover by at least an inch with cold water.
  • Place pot of eggs and water uncovered on burner over high heat. Bring to a boil. Once pot boils, place lid on pot. Lower heat to medium high and boil for 60 seconds.
  • Remove pot from heat. Let stand covered for 12 minutes.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Set aside.
  • Once 12 minutes elapse, transfer eggs from hot water with a spider ladle or a slotted spoon to the bowl of ice water. Let stand for at least 10 minutes, but you can let them stand longer if you want.
  • Once ready to peel, gently crack shell and run under a gentle stream of cold water from your kitchen sink faucet to easily peel the eggs.
  • Cut the peeled eggs lengthwise in half. Slip out yolks into a large bowl. (I use my Kitchenaid mixer bowl so that I can mix the yolk filling with the wire beater attachment.)
  • Once all yolks are removed and placed into bowl, mix with a beater (or a fork) so that the yolk crumbles. Add half cup of mayonnaise, dry mustard, horseradish, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth and creamy. Add another tablespoon of mayo if desired.
  • Fill the hollowed-out egg whites with egg yolk mixture, heaping it lightly. Place on platter. Sprinkle lightly with paprika. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 24 hours.
