Devilled eggs

Whats the classic then?
Well…eggs, then the filling is the mashed up yolk mixed with mayonnaise (a couple of dollops), mustard (just a squirt), pickle relish (a dab or so), and vinegar or pickle juice (only a splash, mind)…salt and pepper of course, a dusting of paprika, and a sprinkle of chives (or green onion tops).

It may seem I’m breaking the “no recipes directly in this topic rule,” but with those measurements, I don’t think it can be considered a proper one. 😉

A golden oldie!

Absolutely correct. That's a minds eye recipe, maybe...

Mine is the same sans the pickle relish, though I use that when making tuna salad with eggs.
 
Has anyone tried butter rather than all mayo?
Nagi of Recipe Tin Eats is a huge fan.
She's a fairly reliable source so I'm thinking it's worth a try even though I feel dubious!

I’ve not done it, but it’s not unheard of. Ones made with butter have a slightly heavier, creamier mouthfeel, but I prefer that certain…je ne sais quoi that mayonnaise delivers.

She does use a bit of mayo to loosen it too.
I think I'll give it a whirl.
I like that she uses more egg yolks than whites too.
