👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Run hard-boiled eggs under cold water, carefully remove the peels, and rinse them under cold water once more to remove any bits of shell. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
2. 2Scoop the egg yolks out of each egg into a medium mixing bowl. Place the egg whites on a plate or serving platter.
3. 3Add the mayonnaise, sweet relish, yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, celery salt, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mix the ingredients with a fork, smashing the yolks while mixing, until creamy and mostly smooth.
