Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them into a mixing bowl.
- Mash the yolks: Use a fork to mash the yolks until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Mix the filling: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, sweet pickle relish, and softened butter to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if needed.
