Ingredients

  • 9 eggs hard-boiled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

  • Peel hard-boiled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place in a small bowl, along with mayo, mustard, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (if using).

VARIATIONS
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning: Replace all seasonings in the recipe with 1-2 teaspoons of Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning.

  • Spicy: Add a few splashes of Tabasco sauce (or your favorite hot sauce) as well as some diced jalapenos.
  • Guacamole: Replace the mayo and mustard with 1/2 of an avocado, 3 tablespoons sour cream and a few squirts of fresh lime juice. Replace the paprika with cayenne pepper.
  • Buffalo: Replace the mustard with an equal amount of buffalo sauce. Finely diced celery (about 1/4 cup) can be thrown in, too! Omit paprika.
