2. Remove eggs from hot water, cool, peel, and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place them in a bowl, setting aside the egg white halves. 

3. Mash the yolks with a fork, then mix in mayonnaise, relish, onion, horseradish, mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. 

4. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Garnish with paprika and additional salt and pepper if desired. 

5. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. 

Suggestions for Customization and Variations: 

For extra flavor, add crispy bacon or bacon bits as a garnish. 

Try substituting sweet pickle relish with a tangy vegetable relish, like Chow Chow, for a more unique taste. 

For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the yolk mixture. 

If you're not a fan of horseradish, substitute it with Dijon mustard for a more subtle tang. 

For a rich and creamy texture, add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the filling mixture. 

For a smoky twist, top the eggs with smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. 

These deviled eggs are the perfect appetizer or party dish. Whether you're serving them as a snack or pairing them with a main dish, their zesty flavor will make them the star of the meal!
