  5. Remove yolks and place them in a separate bowl. Set egg whites aside.
  6. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. The filling can be customized to taste - add more mayo for creaminess or extra mustard for tang. For a fancier presentation, use a piping bag to fill the egg whites. Can be made ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator. Greek yogurt can be substituted for mayo for a lighter version.
