Notes

For perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs, ensure they are fully submerged in water. The ice bath is crucial for halting the cooking process and making the eggs easier to peel, preventing a green ring around the yolk. When mixing the yolk filling, press the yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before adding other ingredients to achieve an exceptionally smooth and lump-free texture. Miracle Whip provides a distinct tangy and slightly sweet flavor; for a richer, more savory profile, a good quality mayonnaise can be substituted, adjusting mustard and seasoning as needed. Taste the filling before piping and adjust salt, pepper, or mustard for balance. For elegant presentation, use a piping bag with a star tip to fill the egg whites.
