BY:Peas and Crayons

Ingredients

  • 6 large Nellie's Free Range Eggs, cold and straight from the fridge
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2-3/4 teaspoon pickle juice, straight from the jar
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste

Directions

  • Pour 1 cup water into inner pot/liner of Instant Pot and top with metal trivet.
  • Grab eggs straight from the fridge and place atop the trivet (see notes). Lock lid into place and ensure valve is sealed. Set Instant Pot to manual and cook for 5 minutes on high pressure.
  • While eggs cook, fill a medium bowl with ice and water. This will cool down the eggs quickly and help loosen the shells.
  • Once the countdown is complete and the Instant Pot beeps, allow eggs to sit in Instant Pot for 5 minutes before releasing the vent valve and releasing remaining pressure. Use tongs to transfer eggs to ice bath and let cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
  • After peeling, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove and add yolks to a small bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, hot sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of paprika, taste for seasoning, and adjust as necessary.
  • Snip the end of a piping bag or the corner of a plastic bag and insert a star tip. Add filling and pipe into sliced eggs. Alternatively, simply spoon mixture into eggs or pipe with a plastic bag minus the tip. Chill if serving later or sprinkle with paprika and dive in right away!

Notes:

Cold eggs are key for this recipe's 5-5-5 timing. This method involves 5 minutes active cook time, 5 minutes natural pressure release, and 5 minutes in an ice bath. It makes for a perfect hard-boiled egg!

No Instant Pot? No problem! Use your hard-boiling method of choice, and follow the rest of the strops above.

To add some heat to your deviled eggs, substitute the pickle juice with pickling liquid from a jar of pickled jalapeños. Or, click below to try a twist on this classic snack!

Cynthia—May 07, 2019

I am thrilled with the instant pot hard boiled egg routine, HOWEVER, the 5-5-5 routine produces over cooked eggs. I use jumbo eggs and reduced time to 4-4-5 and they were almost perfect. Will try 4-3-5 next time.
