  • My family likes this mixture to be thick
  • You can add as much mustard and mayo as you like, i typically add about 3 tablespoons of mustard, and about 1/4 cup of mayo
  • My mayo of choice is Blue Plate, or Dukes
  • Top your eggs with smoked paprika, this gives the eggs a nice unique flavor, but season a little at a time, until you find the amount you like
  • Smoked paprika, does have a great, bold flavor
