The backstory.
Deviled eggs have always been one of those reliable, always-good recipes in my kitchen. But I wanted something with a little more personality - something that felt fresh without making things complicated. I already love adding pickles to just about everything, so mixing that tangy dill flavor into a classic deviled egg just made sense… and now I don't make them any other way.

Kori's tips.
- Finely chop the pickles. Smaller pieces mean better flavor in every bite.
- Start with 1 teaspoon pickle brine. You can always add more, but you can't take it out.
- Add salt at the end. Pickles and brine can be salty. Wait until it's all mixed before adding salt to taste.
- For extra-smooth filling, blend the yolk mixture in a mini food processor.
- Don't skip the chilling. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
