Start by steaming the eggs using a Dash egg cooker or on the stovetop with a steamer basket.

Poke a tiny hole in the bottom of each egg using a thumb tack or push pin to make peeling easier.

Place the eggs in the steamer basket and cover with a lid.

Steam the eggs for 12 to 15 minutes depending on their size.

Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool down and stop the cooking process.

Once cooled, crack the eggs on the counter to loosen the shells from the membrane.

Peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells easily.

Cut each egg in half and place the yolks in a bowl, setting the whites aside in a deviled egg tray.

Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 1/2 teaspoons of yellow mustard, 1 1/2 tablespoons of dill pickle relish, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, hot sauce to taste, and salt and pepper.

Mix the yolk mixture until well combined and smooth.

Transfer the yolk mixture back into the egg whites using two spoons or a piping bag.

Garnish with paprika and fresh cracked black pepper or other herbs as desired.
