Ingredients
- 12 Heinen's cage free eggs
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. Heinen's dry mustard
- 2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp. Hatch chiles, dried and ground
- 1 tsp. Heinen's cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Over high heat, bring the eggs and water to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat, cover and let sit for exactly 17 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Bring the water back to a boil. Place 6 eggs back into the boiling water and cook for 10 seconds, then return them to the ice water.
- Repeat for the other 6 eggs.
- When cool, carefully peel and rinse the eggs.
- Split each egg in half, lengthwise, and remove the yolk. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, mash the yolks. Add the mayonnaise and the rest of the ingredients, except for the ground Hatch chiles and cayenne pepper to the egg yolks. Mix well until creamy.
- Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Combine the ground Hatch chiles and cayenne pepper and sprinkle over top of the eggs. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
