Ingredients

12 large eggs
1/3 cup real mayonnaise
2 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
2 tsp yellow mustard
2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp dried dill or 1/2 tsp fresh dill chopped
salt and black pepper to taste
paprika
chopped parsley or fresh dill

Instructions

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium sized pot. Allow 1 inch water over the tops of the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat to medium. Simmer gently for around 12 minutes. Remove from the stove and allow to sit covered for 5 minutes.
Drain the hot water from the pot and fill with cold water. Allow the eggs to sit until they're cool enough to handle.
While the eggs are boiling in a small mixing bowl, mix together the sweet relish, mayonnaise, mustard, sugar, dill, salt and pepper.
Peel the eggs and slice each in half. Using a teaspoon scoop the yolks into the bowl with the dressing.
Using a fork mash two whole eggs and all of the egg yolks into the dressing mixture. Stir well. This will leave 20 shells to fill. Before filling, taste and adjust the salt, pepper and sweetness of the filling.
Using a teaspoon fill the shells evenly and sprinkle each with paprika and chopped parsley or dill.
Chill for 2 hours prior to serving.

Notes

Using cold salted water decreases the chances of the shells breaking while the eggs are boiling. If a shell breaks anyway, I usually choose that one to chop and add to the filling, keeping the best shells for presentation.
When cooking the eggs, use a pot big enough so that the eggs can cook in a single layer. If you stack the eggs in a smaller pot, they won't cook evenly.
