To make base recipe: Hard boil eggs, peel and chop them. Put them in a bowl and add to them the mayonnaise, yellow mustard and sweet relish. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper to your taste. Mix it up. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Optional add-ins: add in some smoky paprika, chives or green onion, or give it a little crunch with the addition of some chopped celery.
