Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you need:
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup Paleo-friendly mayonnaise (made with avocado or olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (ensure it’s Paleo-compliant, without added sugar or wine)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika, plus extra for garnish
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste (really just a pinch of salt and pepper)
- Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)
Tip: If you’re in the US, I highly recommend using the mayonnaise by Primal Kitchen!
Instructions
- The first thing you want to do is get hard boiled eggs – for this, place eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water that should be about an inch high, then bring it to boil over medium-high heat. Once the water starts boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for at least 10-12 minutes (more is ok, too!)
- Once the eggs are cooked, take them out and let them cool off at room temperature – if you want to speed up this process, put the eggs into a medium bowl and give them an ice water bath (this will also make the peeling easier!)
- After the eggs have cooled completely off, carefully peel and cut them lengthwise. After that, take out the hard boiled egg yolks and set them aside in a small bowl.
- To prepare the filling, mash the egg yolks with a fork before adding the paleo mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper – mix it all well until it’s smooth and creamy. Consider using an immersion blender to make it creamier!
Finally, for color, flavor, and garnish, add a sprinkle of paprika over the top – if you want to go all out, you can also add some fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra garnishing.
