How to Boil Eggs for Deviled Eggs
Place the eggs into a medium or large size saucepan and cover them with water. Bring this to a boil and then cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and cook until eggs are done.
Meanwhile, combine the mustard, salt and relish in a separate bowl and mix together well. Add mayonnaise and mix again.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the boiled eggs sit. You could also cook your eggs in an instant pot.
Meanwhile, put ice and cold water in large mixing bowl. Add the cooked eggs and let them sit in the ice water for a couple of minutes. Peel and carefully slice the eggs in half lengthwise.
