Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 green olive slices

Instructions
 

  • Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes before peeling.
  • Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise. Scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl and set the whites aside on a plate.
  • Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  • Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Top each filled half with one green olive slice.

Notes

Chill the assembled eggs for 15 minutes before serving so the filling firms up. Use pimento-stuffed olives if you want a touch of red in the center. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for one day.
