Ingredients
-
12 large hard-boiled Happy Eggs, carefully peeled
-
½ cup mayonnaise
-
2 tsp spicy brown mustard
-
1 tbsp pickle relish (dill or sweet, optional)
-
½ tsp kosher salt
-
A few grinds of black pepper
-
Pinch of cayenne pepper
-
Smoked paprika (optional)
-
Thin scallions or fresh chives, cut into strips (for football laces)
-
Shredded romaine lettuce (optional, for serving as “grass”)
Steps
-
Boil the Eggs: Start with Happy Eggs (slightly older ones peel more easily). Place them in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to cool.
-
Prep the Yolks: Slice the eggs lengthwise and gently remove the yolks. Mash them in a bowl with a fork until crumbly.
-
Create the Filling: Add mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, cayenne, and pickle relish to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.
-
Pipe Like a Pro: Spoon the mixture into a piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped). Pipe it into the egg whites evenly.
-
Add Some Football Flair: Dust with smoked paprika, then use scallions or chives to create football laces on top.
Serve & Enjoy: Arrange the eggs on a platter with shredded romaine lettuce to look like a football field. Bonus points for serving these tasty snacks on a football-shaped platter!
Game Day Tips
-
Pickle Perks: Can’t decide between sweet or dill relish? Try both and make everyone happy!
-
Chive Sub: No scallions? Chives work just as well for those football laces.
-
Make Ahead: Save time on the big day by prepping the eggs and filling up to two days in advance. Store them separately and assemble right before kickoff.
