Ingredients
- Eggs, of course! Prepare them according to this hard boiled eggs recipe. My simple method makes them easy to peel, and they come out with sunny yellow yolks every time.
- Mayonnaise – It makes the filling rich and creamy.
- Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar – For tangy flavor. The mustard also adds a nice peppery kick. Feel free to sub yellow mustard for Dijon if you prefer.
- Salt and pepper – Add them to taste! Because the mayo and mustard are salty, I recommend tasting the filling before you mix in more salt.
- And hot sauce – Optional, but SO delicious. It adds some heat to the egg filling and makes it extra-tangy. I especially like Tabasco here. Frank’s Red Hot is great too.
