*Advance Prep Required* You'll need 8 Steamed Hard Boiled Eggs (easy to peel) for this recipe. My recipe for dill pickle deviled eggs has the creamiest yolk filling, crunchy, chopped dill pickles, and a splash of pickle juice. They're a bold, flavor-packed twist on the classic! This recipe is vegetarian and easily gluten free.Fresh dill and chives are optional. But, I do recommend at least fresh dill. Dried dill works too!

Instructions
Peel cooled steamed hard cooked eggs then slice in half. Carefully transfer the hard cooked yolks to a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter. Mash with a fork or mini masher. The yolks will look crumbly.
To the yolk mixture add the mayonnaise, mustard, pickles and pickle juice, salt, pepper, paprika, tabasco, dill and chives if using. Stir the mixture together, pressing the yolks into the side of the bowl to smooth, until creamy. Taste for salt and Tabasco adjustment.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture, about 2 - 2 1/2 teaspoons each, into cooked egg white halves. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, dill and chives. Just before serving, sprinkle a touch of salt and pepper over the egg whites.
To Store: cooked eggs must be refrigerated within two hours of cooking. Deviled eggs will store in the refrigerator in a lidded container for about two days.
