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.
 
Have not eaten (or prepared) a devilled egg in over 45 years.
They're just not a thing over here.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't eat one, though; in fact, if they're so popular in the US, I may have to make some when I'm there next month, so I'm eager to see what the recipes are.
 
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.
