Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1/2 tsp white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings

  • 3 mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages, halved
  • 1 tsp oil (for searing)
  • Yellow mustard, for garnish
  • Sweet pickle relish, for garnish
  • Smoked paprika or black pepper, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then remove the pan from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes to cook through.
  2. Cool and Peel: Transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Once cooled, peel the shells off and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl. Mash them with mayonnaise, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until you achieve a smooth, creamy mixture.
  4. Sear the Hot Dogs: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the halved mini hot dogs and sear them until they develop a nice brown color, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the creamy yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites, evenly distributing it among all halves.
  6. Add Hot Dog Topping: Press one seared hot dog half firmly into the center of each filled egg yolk mound.
  7. Garnish: Drizzle a small amount of yellow mustard over each egg, then add a dollop of sweet pickle relish on top of each hot dog piece.
  8. Finish and Serve: Lightly dust the stuffed eggs with smoked paprika or freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor and color. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best taste.

Notes

  • For easier peeling, older eggs tend to peel more easily than very fresh eggs.
  • You can substitute cocktail sausages with regular mini hot dogs if preferred.
  • Use a piping bag with a star tip to make filling presentation neat and decorative.
  • These can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated until serving.
  • Adjust seasoning in the yolk mixture to your taste preference.
