Steps:
- Slice eggs lengthwise, slipping yolks into a separate bowl.
- (I set aside the egg halves that didn't come out perfectly and dice them for use in the egg salad mix.) Add onion, turmeric, dill weed, salt/pepper, about half of the paprika.
- Use a fork to loosen the egg yolks and blend with other ingredients before adding any moisture.
- This helps avoid those lumps of unmixed yolk you sometimes find.
- Add gherkins and juice.
- Add moisture: 1/4 cup mayo and approximately 2 tablespoons mustard to start; mix well.
- (I operate on the principle that you can always make a mix more moist, but taking it out is very hard!).
- Taste.
- Adjust moisture to your preference, using mayo, mustard or pickle juice- whichever is most needed.
- Scoop into egg white halves, top with paprika, chill before serving.

Tips:
- Use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs will not peel as easily and the whites may be more runny.
- Hard-boil the eggs perfectly. Overcooked eggs will be dry and crumbly, while undercooked eggs may contain harmful bacteria.
- Peel the eggs immediately after boiling. This will prevent the shells from sticking to the eggs.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half. A dull knife will crush the eggs and make them difficult to fill.
- Remove the yolks carefully. Use a spoon or a melon baller to scoop out the yolks without breaking them.
- Mash the yolks until smooth. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the yolks until they are smooth and creamy.
- Add your favorite fillings. There are many different fillings that you can use for deviled eggs, such as mayonnaise, mustard, relish, pickles, chives, and paprika.
- Chill the deviled eggs before serving. This will help them to firm up and make them easier to eat.
Conclusion:
Deviled eggs are a classic appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create deviled eggs that are both delicious and visually appealing.
