I've been making stuffed eggs since I was about twelve years old. I'm not giving you a current date count so just assume I've been fixing these eggs for a long time! I will give you my basic recipe but you can add and subtract as the whim takes you and your family tastes come into play.
Stuffed Eggs
6 hard-cooked eggs
1 tablespoon mayo
Pickle relish (sweet or dill, your choice)
Salt & pepper to taste
Paprika for dusting the finished eggs
Carefully peel the cold, cooked eggs. You can slice them in half width or lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolk into a mixing bowl. With a fork, smash and break up the egg yolks. Add the mayo, relish, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. If it is too dry, you can add more mayo or relish. Fill each of your egg white halves and round the filling attractively. Dust with the paprika and serve.
Ideas . . .
You can use canned, diced chili peppers instead of the relish.
Top each egg with a slice of black or green olive.
If you puree the yolk mixture until smooth, you can pipe in the yolk with a pastry bad and tip.
Sprinkle on some toasted, finely chopped pecans.
Use them for a breakfast buffet and add some finely diced ham or bacon to the yolk mixture.
