Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large hardboiled eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pickle brine
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced dill pickles, plus extra for topping
  • 1 tablespoon sharp white cheddar, finely grated (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill pickle salt or kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup plain panko
  • pinch of cayenne

Instructions

  1. Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half. Carefully remove the yolks and add to a bowl.
  2. Add the mayo, pickle brine, and Dijon to the yolks. Use a form to mash the mixture together until smooth.
  3. Fold in the seasonings, 1 teaspoon fresh dill, pickles, and cheese if using.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Fill a piping bag or zip top bag with the yolk mixture, snipping the corner. Carefully fill each egg white.
  6. Refrigerate while you make the topping.
  7. Heat a small skillet over medium heat with the butter. Once melted add the panko. Stir occasionally until it smells fragrant and is golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  8. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon fresh dill and a pinch of cayenne. Let cool completely.
  9. Sprinkle the cooled panko mixture over the top of each egg. Add a slice of pickle for garnish if desired.

Notes

  1. For the best texture hold off topping your eggs with the panko mixture until just before serving. This will keep it light, crispy, and crunchy.
  2. Deviled eggs will last 3-4 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
