Ingredients
You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon pickled relish
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper – to taste
Directions
- Cook the Eggs: Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot. Add the metal trivet, and place the uncooked eggs on top in a single layer. Secure the lid and cook on manual mode for 5 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release for another 5 minutes.
- Ice Bath: Transfer those hot little eggs into an ice bath for 5 minutes.
- Peel Time: Lightly tap each egg on a hard surface, and the peel should slide right off. If you’re struggling, roll the eggs in shallow water to help.
- Slice and Scoop: Cut each egg in half lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a bowl while placing the whites on a platter.
- Mix It Up: Mash the yolks with a fork, and mix in mayo, mustard, relish, salt, and pepper until creamy and chunky. Want it smooth? Blend it in a food processor.
- Fill ’Er Up: Spoon the filling back into the egg whites. Don’t overfill—you want a little dome on top! For a touch of elegance, pipe the filling using a ziplock bag.
