We like ours a touch sweet in the Southern Family recipe so added 1/2tsp Splendatoyolk mixture. Also use Mt. Olive no sugar added relish so can add extra. Some like it hot so sub cayenne or Chipotle for paprika often make all 3 and label plate of 6 dozen! Fav appetizer at holidays!

I absolutely love this recipe! I have been using my grandmother's recipe my whole life which used French's yellow mustard and mayo with a dash of malt vinager (the British side of the family making it's appearance!) but I love the idea of using Dijon mustard and pickle relish. To make neat looking eggs, I put the mixture in a small plastic sandwich bag, pushing the mixture into the corner and twisting the opening shut. Cut the corner of the bag with the mixture in it, and use it to pipe the mixture into the empty egg. I get lots of complements on the look of my eggs! -)
