Oeufs A La Diable - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 dozen hard-boiled eggs (I make them like Sara Moulton, Mom prefers the old-fashioned boil to death method)
    2 tablespoons real mayonnaise (or homemade)
    1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon lemon zest
    2 tablespoons salted butter, softened
    1 1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
    1 pinch each salt and pepper
    paprika, for sprinkling
    radishes, grape tomatoes, green onions (optional) or celery, for garnish (optional)
Preparation
    Halve the eggs carefully and, using a small spoon, remove the yolks to the top of a potato ricer or food mill.
    Press the yolks through into a bowl and beat in the mayonnaise, oil, lemon zest, butter, relish, salt and pepper.
    Spoon into pastry bag (use a star tip for pretty filling!).
    Set egg whites on a flat surface and pipe even amounts of filling into each cavity. Dust with paprika.
    Place finished eggs on a serving platter (with additional garnish veggies if desired), cover and chill until needed.
