Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise

  • 3 tablespoons pickled okra brine

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • 4 pickled okra pods, thinly sliced (24 slices)

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high. Cover, remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes. Drain.

  2. Submerge eggs in ice-cold water; let stand 10 minutes. Tap each egg firmly on the counter until cracks form all over the shell. Peel under cold running water.

  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise; remove yolks, keeping egg white halves intact.

  4. Using fine holes of a grater, grate yolks into a bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, okra brine, parsley, mustard, salt, and pepper. Spoon or pipe filling into egg whites. Top each deviled egg with 1 slice of pickled okra.
