This one is easy to follow, it is something that a lot of people love, and you can make it all your own if you would like to. You start by boiling eggs, however many that you want to make. After they have boiled for about 10 minutes, take them out and put them into the fridge to cool. Once they are cooled down, remove the shells, cut them in half lengthwise, and put the yolks into a large bowl. Mix the yolks with mustard, mayonnaise, and relish then put them back into the empty whites, dusting with paprika, salt, and pepper once finished.
