Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup water
Filling
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp dill pickle, minced
- 1 tbsp red onion, diced
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp paprika
Garnish
- parsley stems
- pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Pressure Cook Eggs: Place the steamer basket inside the Instant Pot and add the eggs. Pour in 1 cup of water, cover with the Instant Pot lid, and set to pressure cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. Allow the steam to naturally release once cooking is complete.
- Ice Bath: Immediately transfer the hot eggs into an ice bath using tongs to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Let them cool thoroughly.
- Prepare Eggs: Slice the cooled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a small bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate and set aside.
- Mash Yolks: Using a fork, mash the yolks until they form coarse pebbles. Gradually add mayonnaise, one spoonful at a time, mashing until the mixture becomes creamy and lump-free.
- Mix Filling: Stir in Dijon mustard, minced dill pickle, diced red onion, pepper, salt, and paprika until evenly combined and smooth.
- Fill Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites arranged on the serving tray.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each deviled egg with a parsley stem and 2-3 pomegranate seeds for a festive touch. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For easier peeling, ensure eggs are fully cooled in the ice bath after cooking.
- Use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner cut off to fill egg whites neatly.
- Substitute dill pickle with sweet pickle relish for a milder flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- These deviled eggs can be made a few hours in advance and refrigerated for convenience.
