Instructions

Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to hard boil the eggs. Remove from heat and immediately cool under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs once cooled.
Prepare the yolks: Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly and smooth.
Make the tuna filling: Add the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish (if using), lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and smooth in texture.
Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully spoon or pipe the tuna mixture into the hollowed egg white halves, dividing it evenly among all halves.
Garnish and chill: Optionally sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or a pinch of paprika over the filled eggs for color and extra flavor. Refrigerate the stuffed deviled eggs for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and serve chilled.

Notes

For added texture and crunch, finely chopped celery or red onion can be mixed into the filling.
These tuna-stuffed deviled eggs are perfect as appetizers at parties or as a high-protein snack any time.
