Ingredients

12 Large Hard-Boiled Eggs peeled and halved
¼ + ⅛ Cups Mayonnaise
½ Tbs. Yellow Mustard
⅛ teaspoon Onion Powder
⅛ teaspoon Garlic Salt
1 ½ Tbs. Dill Pickle Juice

Instructions

Hardly boil 12 eggs by either boiling for 8 minutes in a pot of boiling water or...
Place the rack in your instant pot, add 1-2 cups water to the bottom, and place eggs on the rack. Cook on low pressure for 7 minutes. Quick, release the steam.
Either way, cool the hot eggs in an ice bath.
Peel and halve the hard-boiled eggs.
Put the yolks in a small mixing bowl.
Use hand beaters to break up the yolks.
Beat in the mayo, mustard, onion salt, garlic salt, and dill pickle juice. Beat until the mixture is completely smooth.
Put the yolk mixture into a disposable frosting bag with the desired tip (I use tip 1M) and pipe it into the egg whites. Garnish with green onion tips if desired. Refrigerate until serving.

Notes

I like my deviled egg filling a little thicker so that I can pipe it into the egg whites. If you want to spoon it in or just like the filling a little wetter, then add more mayo a little at a time until it reaches the consistency you like.)
Do I use fresh eggs or old eggs? Which is better for hard-boiled eggs? This is a common question! There's more info in the FAQ section of my post, but older eggs do peel easier, while fresh eggs make for prettier-looking deviled eggs.
