Instructions
Step 1
Put eggs into a 4-qt. pot of water and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat, cover, and let sit 15 minutes. Drain eggs and crack each shell slightly. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Peel eggs. Halve each egg; using a small spoon, transfer yolks to a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash the yolks. Add Durkee, relish, and paprika and season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco. Stir vigorously with spatula until smooth.
Step 2
Transfer mixture to a plastic bag or a piping bag fitted with a smooth tip and pipe into egg whites. Garnish eggs with more paprika, if you like. Serve cold or at room temperature with hot sauce, if you like.
