Many of the comments refer to Miracle Whip and pickle relish as though the recipe includes those ingredients. Yet, the recipe as shown does not include either. Has the recipe that is now shown, been altered since being posted originally? If so, that should be noted. If not, then why are so many people 'altering' them out, when they were never called for to begin with? It's surely a puzzlement to me.

House Rule: There shall be NO Miracle Whip in my house. The Miraculous thing about Miracle Whip is that anyone buys it. For vile taste, it is unsurpassed.<br/>I made Deviled Eggs last night, just winging it. Did the egg thing and took the yolks to a bowl. Mashed them. Added Hellman's Mayonaisse, just a bit. Added celery salt, McCormick's Salt-Free Spices, Herbs de Provence, a bit of Paprika and some dark Chili Powder. Also Cayenne to taste and a good helping of Turmeric powder. Mixed thoroughly. Added some more mayonaisse to moisten. Mixed. Took a spoon and scooped the yolk mix into the whites' cavities. Patted down with finger to remove spaces. This is necessary to get the maximum amount of this mix back into the whites. The reason is that it is so delicious that you don't want to waste any space on air. Sprinkled a bit of dark chili powder (my paprika was so old it was black and tasteless) on top and served. Also, with the Turmeric added, these were also healthy and allegedly will prevent cancer. Best of all possible worlds!

When I first saw this recipe I was a bit turned off because of the relish, and my family had never had Deviled Eggs made that way. I decided to give it a try though, as it was my first time making Deviled Eggs. I upped the recipe for 32 eggs, because I was making them for a family get together. I was so pleased to see that everyone had finished all of my Deviled Eggs and my Aunt's were not even a fourth gone! They are really sweet and have a great zing to them, that's not too strong. I myself added a bit more mustard, because I couldn't taste it enough for my preference. I will definatly be making these again. Thanks so much for the recipe!

My wife, from Illinois, is the queen of making deviled eggs. She does use mayo, but not any pickles or relish (or jalapenos) or Miracle Whip, God forbid. She does add a little garlic powder to the yolks, though. For flavor and presentation, she tops the finished eggs with a slice of black olive or a caper, sometimes both. The platter always comes back empty, too!

These are absolutely delicious! I used homemade zesty zucchini relish in place of pickle relish and also added a small splash of worcestershire sauce. I used mayo and dijon mustard. I loved the method too - the whites were super easy to fill using the sandwich bag. It made my first time making deviled eggs really easy and pleasant. Now I'll have to work at not inhaling them! =)
